At White Bear Center for the Arts, we believe that everyone has an artist inside them waiting to be discovered. We offer hundreds of art classes for all ages and abilities, for a chance to learn something new, build community, or grow as an artist. Whether you’re an experienced artist or you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before, WBCA offers classes in ceramics, fiber arts, painting, drawing, woodworking, writing, dance, and more that will meet you where you are. 

If you enjoy appreciating art more than creating it, we offer free gallery exhibitions for the whole community to enjoy. Our exhibition spaces are a vibrant platform for showcasing diverse perspectives and a place for people to gather. Each year, we host around a dozen exhibitions throughout our gallery spaces, including the premier Ford Family Gallery.
