Program Summaries

WORKSHOP STUDIO

Local, regional, and national creators will invite the public to learn a new skill and come together for interactive entertainment.

CERAMICS STUDIO

Whether you are a beginner or intermediate, the focus of these classes will feature wheel throwing or hand building techniques.

CULINARY KITCHEN

Business owners who are looking for a space to prepare food can register to use the commercial kitchen. This is a great opportunity for caterers, food trucks owners, and people who need more space for their progress.

ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE

HAEC includes an apartment and private studio for artists to truly escape into their creative world. The artists may also be included in performance opportunities for the Arts-In-Education programming in the local schools. Applicants will go through a selection process before being chosen for the program.

ARTS IN EDUCATION

The Lafontaine Arts Council sponsors an Art-In-Education program that impacts the students from ages Pre-K through 12th grade. Activities like public performances or quality art presents have been essential in the Arts-In-Education program.
