Take A Class
At CCAD, we believe art is for everyone—and that everyone is an artist. We’ve been central Ohio’s home for artists and art education since our founding. We welcome you to join us for a class—or ten!
Why CCAD for Art Classes?
Experienced Instructors & Practicing Artists
Our community art classes are led by local creators and designers with a passion for their craft and love for sharing their knowledge with others.
Reputation & Legacy
We’ve been leaders in art education since 1879, and we’ve been innovating ever since. CCAD is a driving force in the Columbus arts scene, and our community classes are a big part of that.
Scholarships & Opportunities
We offer youth scholarships, as well as alumni and veteran discounts. Community members are also welcome to attend other events and exhibitions on campus, too. Applications for need-based scholarships for Creative Summer Workshops can be found here. The deadline to apply is May 13, 2024.

The instructor is wonderful and has a lot of passion for the arts. In the class, she was enthusiastic, helpful, and approachable. She taught me lots of embroidery skills and printmaking skills. I looked forward to coming to class every day, and I now use the skills I learned at home.
Art for All
No matter what your age, CCAD is a home for creativity, expression, and learning.
