Community Learning Programs
Saturday School (Fall, Spring)
Herron's Saturday School, established in 1922, provides quality art instruction to youth ages 7-17 and adults seeking to learn artistic techniques, improve art skills, try new art forms, and build a portfolio of work.
Classes take place during 10-week semesters and are held at Herron's Eskenazi Hall and at Herron's Sculpture and Ceramics building. Class offerings include drawing, painting, illustration, sculpture, ceramics, photography, printmaking, computer imagery, and elementary art.

Partial scholarships are available through local high school teachers.

Evenings at Herron (Fall, Spring, Summer)

Honors Art Program (Summer)
Herron's Honors Art is a rigorous, 2-week summer program of instruction for high school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates who want to build their artmaking skills and portfolio, plus receive guidance in planning an education in art.
Each summer, two sessions of Honor Art are held at Herron's Eskenazi Hall. Lessons in drawing, painting, design, printmaking, and theory - equivalent to those given to first-year Herron students - are carefully designed to build basic studio skills.
In addition, a series of planned field trips provides meaningful exposure to Indianapolis' cultural sites. Moderate class sizes lead to quality instruction provided by Herron faculty members, alumni, and graduate students. To qualify for Honors Art, a student must have completed the sophomore year of high school and write a short statement.

Herron's Weekend Workshops provide an intensive, 2-weekend course of study for high school students and adults to sharpen skills in drawing from life or strengthen their portfolio for admission to art school and for applying for art school scholarships. Workshops are held at Herron's Eskenazi Hall.

Youth Art Camp (Summer)
Launched in 2002, Herron's Youth Art Camp is a weekly summer day camp for youth ages 5 to 16 held at Herron's Eskenazi Hall. Participants actively engage in a productive series of studio art activities geared toward personal and artistic development.
Instructors instill the value of art as a means of personal and cultural expression, communication, and problem solving. Each week of Youth Art Camp culminates with an art exhibition where families, friends, and teachers are invited to view work created at art camp.
Tuition waivers are available for those in need of financial assistance.
