Kala’s adult education programs connect communities of learners. We provide unique studio opportunities that align with Kala’s overall mission to help artists sustain their creative work. Kala classes are taught by working artists and utilize our exceptional equipment. Develop a new skill, build on previous experience, or take a class just for fun! Private group instruction and tutoring sessions are also available.

Kala’s Artists-in-Schools (AIS) program connects professional artists, many from our Artist-In-Residence Program, with K-12 students and teachers throughout the East Bay Area (Berkeley, Oakland, and Emeryville). Kala Teaching Artists work in classroom residencies during the school day, in after school programs and in collaborative community settings.
