Pullen Arts Center

Hours

Currently, Pullen Arts Center is closed as the center undergoes a complete renovation and expansion. While closed, we hope you will enjoy the studios at Sertoma Arts Center, sign up for classes offered by Pullen Arts instructors at Glen Eden Neighborhood Center, or register for one of our offsite Art4Fun Summer Camps.

Programs

Adult Programs

Pullen Arts Center continues to offer a limited selection of four to six week programs for adults at other locations during our renovation. 

Pottery Program

Pullen Arts Center's Pottery Program is not operating at another location during the renovation. We encourage potters to check out one of the great studios in the area – like Sertoma Arts Center, N.C. State's Crafts Center, and Cary Arts Center - while we are closed.

People in Portraits - Catalyzing Creative Aging

In Fall 2019, Pullen Arts Center is offering our second year of the People in Portraits program for a new group of adults aged 55 years and older. This is a 12-week skill-building portrait-making course. Registration for the 2019 session is open!

Do you have a story to tell? Join us as we explore ways to depict people and their stories through portraiture. In this twelve week program, participants will work with an experienced teaching artist to explore techniques for creating images of the human face using drawing, painting, collage and mixed media. Classes will focus on hands-on art making, and will also include artist demonstrations, discussions of portraiture through history, and conversations about our own work. As the program progresses, participants will create a self-portrait that will be displayed in an exhibition entitled “Who are We? Raleigh’s People in Portraits” in December. No previous art experience or ability required, and all materials are provided.
