BEACH ART CENTER
Indian Rocks Beach, Florida
"Engaging our Community in Creative Arts since 1978"
WELCOME TO THE BEACH
Art is healing. Anyone who has held a brush, a pencil or shaped a bit of clay transforming those elements into something of their own creation has experienced this healing effect.
And what better place to feel completely relaxed and inspired, than on the beach?
Whether you're into traditional media like drawing, oils and watercolor, enjoy sculpting with clay or like playing with mixed media, collage and acrylics - you'll have plenty of choices.
And if you just want to have a studio space with good light and other artists to paint with, we offer Open Studio hours.
Local art centers and galleries like the Beach Art Center bring the arts to people where they live and play. Today, the mission of the Beach Art Center is “to inspire lifelong learning, empower the individual, and engage the community of all ages in the creative arts”.
We opened our doors in 1978, this year we joyfully celebrate our 42nd Anniversary.
WE HAVE A NEW REGISTRATION SYSTEM!
Beginning May 14th, the Beach Art Center will be using a new system for registering for Courses.
If you were a user of our old system, your email and password information will not automatically transfer to this new system. The first time you book a course or purchase a membership, you will need to enter your email & phone number. Once you set up an account, using a password - this information will be saved. You can register without a password, but your contact details will not be saved and will need to be entered each time – it’s your option.
Unlike our old booking system, with our new system, if you set up an account with a password, you will have the option to save your credit card details so you can easily register in the future without entering that number each time (a feature many of you requested).
