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!

We have made it our goal to offer a myriad of classes. TAG has made it easy to offer classes as we have a dedicated space within the building's confines. 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).

In 2023 nearly 125 kids took art classes.
