Latest News

Creativity is at the heart of every successful nation. It finds expression in great visual art, wonderful music, fabulous performances, stunning writing, gritty new productions and countless other mediums.

Giving form to our innate human creativity is what defines us to ourselves and the world. This is what the arts have always done. Think back to any significant time in the past and the chances are that it is the creative output of the time that comes to mind – from rock art in remote caves, to the pyramids of Egypt, Michelangelo’s sculptures, Shakespeare’s plays, Beethoven’s symphonies, to the beat of Elvis, and the list goes on.

The lasting value and evidence of a civilisation are its artistic output and the ingenuity that comes from applying creativity to the whole range of human endeavour.-Julianne Schultz

During the month of May, Amarillo Art Insitute offers three creative workshops that will help you leave a lasting value through your artistic output and ingenuity! Join us now for one of these three one-day creative workshops. Register by calling (806) 354-8802.

Even if you’ve never painted before, you will learn all you need to know to get started in travel painting, or what some call a quick sketch. By the end of the day you will be able to sketch in watercolor in 5 minutes, almost any scene before you.If you have painted a long time, you still need this class to learn how to capture those Kodak moments outdoors without your camera. Great for train travel, vacations, travel by car or bus or anyone just wanting to learn to not be so ‘busy’ and tedious with their watercolor.For more details or to register for this creative workshop call the AAI Office at (806) 354-8802
