Founded in 1975, Lillstreet Art Center is a large community of artists and students working side-by-side in a friendly environment which encourages and inspires artistic growth in the individual. Lillstreet Art Center supports the arts through an artist residency program, a gallery, studio space, education, and an outreach program. In 2003, they relocated from a converted horse barn on Lillstreet to a former gear factory on Ravenswood. The current facility is a beautiful, spacious center, boasting state-of-the-art equipment and expanded course offerings, not to mention plenty of natural light, air-conditioning, storage lockers, and a cafe! Lillstreet offers adult classes and workshops for all skill levels in six different departments: ceramics, metalsmithing and jewelry, painting and drawing, printmaking, textiles, and glass. Each department offers First-Time Artist classes that help beginners explore a new medium in a relaxed environment.
