One of the ways we grow the GPCAArts Council is through offering classes to kids as well as adults. In 2023 we received a sizeable grant from the Port Clinton Rotary Foundation which allows us to offer free classes to children who reside full time in Ottawa County. There is a nominal cost for children who don't reside in the county. We're very proud to say that we received the same donation from the Port Clinton Rotary Foundation in 2024! Grant monies are dwindling. If you see a class offered at full price for kids, it means the grant funding has been depleted.
Due to a large number of no-shows recently for our children's classes, we will begin charging $10 per child who lives in Ottawa County for any class. This covers the cost of art supplies as well as a portion of the teacher's time.
New location for Winter 2025 classes!
Thanks to St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oak Harbor for offering their classrooms and parsonage for TAG classes this winter! This is expecially helpful to GPCAAC as TAG will be undergoing some renovations this winter. Dates and times to be determined. We hope to continue offering classes in Oak Harbor throughout the year. St. John's is located at 122 W. Ottawa St., Oak Harbor OH 43449.
We have made it our goal to offer a myriad of classes. Keep in mind that our class list grows every week, sometimes a couple times a week, so please keep checking this classes webpage or visit our facebook page (Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council) for the latest/greatest class offerings available.
In 2024
