Workshops
Led by talented local artists, curators & creatives, Michigan Arts Workshops offer opportunities to explore creativity, learn more about art, and discover new artistic skills—all in a supportive & welcoming environment.
No prior experience is needed—everyone is encouraged to participate & experiment freely. All supplies are provided, so participants can focus on being present & enjoying the experience.
Arts for All workshops are open to everyone. Workshops are added to the Happening Calendar throughout the year, or you may request a custom workshop for your unit or department.
Learn/With workshops are for students & are led by student arts organizations. Find these workshops on Sessions.
Staff Craft workshops are for U-M faculty & staff.
Be among the first to know when new workshops open!
