OUR MISSION

The Art School at Old Church was founded in 1974 when visionary artists transformed a

19th-century church building into a nonprofit, non-sectarian art school and cultural center. Our mission is to provide a wide range of arts experiences that enrich lives in our community and across the region. We welcome individuals of all ages, backgrounds, identities, and abilities to participate in life-long learning in and through the arts.

​

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, ACCESS, & INCLUSION

Our long-standing commitment to advancing diversity, equity, access, and inclusion informs all aspects of the organization, including program content, admissions policies, financial assistance opportunities, community partnerships, employment practices, ADA accommodations, and staff, faculty, and Board constitution. Members of the Diversity Committee include Urvashi Joneja, Zola Kendi, Maureen Lostumbo, Carrie Ortiz, Judy Schaefer, Valerie Sutton, and Rachel Woursell.
