Holmes Center for the Arts Launches Winter Classes for Adults

The Holmes Center for the Arts announced its winter schedule on December 16, 2025, highlighting opportunities for both novice and experienced artists in Holmes County. The calendar includes single session workshops and multi date classes, several of which cap enrollment to preserve instruction quality and hands on attention.

Featured instructor Diane Graebner will lead a Guided Drawing Shoe Study on Saturday, Jan. 10 from 12:30 to 2 p.m. The session costs $15 and is open to teens and adults, with a limit of 15 participants. Materials will be provided, and participants may bring an interesting shoe to draw. Graebner will also teach Landscape Painting on three Saturdays, Jan. 17, Feb. 14 and March 7 from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Each painting workshop is $30 and open to those age 16 and up, with a maximum of 10 participants per class. Attendees may sign up for individual dates or all three sessions.

Beyond Graebner s workshops, the center s winter offerings include ceramics classes, watercolor workshops, open studio sessions, homeschool art programs and language classes. The schedule lists dates, times, age ranges and fees for a variety of workshops intended for teens through adults. Several classes have limited enrollment and require advance registration. Some sessions supply materials while others ask participants to bring their own supplies.

For local residents, the schedule represents an expansion of county arts programming during the winter months and a chance for hands on learning and community connection. Limited class sizes mean early registration will be important for those seeking spots, and modest fees make many sessions accessible to a range of participants. The mix of single session and recurring workshops offers flexibility for adults balancing family and work commitments.
