Celebrating the diversity of Lorain

At Start With Art, we are more than just a community arts program; we are a vibrant hub where creativity, unity, and inspiration converge. Since our inception in 2016, we have been dedicated to empowering the Lorain community through the transformative power of art. As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we take immense pride in offering free art classes and workshops that are open to everyone, regardless of age, experience, or background.

Our flagship program, the weekend art workshops, serves as a testament to our commitment to fostering artistic expression. These workshops provide an inclusive space for community members to explore their artistic talents under the guidance of a master artist. Whether you're a seasoned painter or just curious about the world of art, you're welcome to drop in and create beautiful portraits and paintings alongside your neighbors.

But our mission goes beyond workshops. We actively engage with our community through special events and collaborations, where we partner with local festivals and community gatherings, putting art at the forefront. Additionally, our unique Art Library allows you to access stunning paintings and portraits created by your fellow community members, enriching your life with the beauty of local art.

We believe that art has the power to connect, heal, and inspire. We invite you to join us in this creative journey, explore the endless possibilities of artistic expression, and be a part of a community that thrives on creativity and togetherness. Contact us today to learn more about our programs and how you can get involved in this vibrant artistic movement. Let's paint a brighter future together.collaborationseventsspecial
