The Color of Winter: January Art Classes, Camps, and Events
"The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination." - Terri Guillemets
As we step into the new year, January invites us to dream boldly, imagine freely, and create with purpose. At Raleigh Kids Art Gallery, we’re dedicating this month to nurturing those dreams through a variety of art classes, camps, and events. Whether you’re an adult looking to reconnect with your creativity, a young artist enjoying track-out time, or a dreamer of any age, January is our canvas—let’s create together!
Adult Art Class: Books & Brunch
Combine art and literature in this fun, hands-on class where you’ll create your very own painted book brick. These decorative book bricks are trending for a reason—they add charm to any garden, porch, or even act as stylish doorstops. Come for the creativity and community, and leave with a painted masterpiece or two, plus new book recommendations to add to your “To Be Read” pile.
When: January 18, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
What’s Included: Light snacks and a juice bar (bring your own bubbles for DIY mimosas!)
Cost: $34
Winter’s quiet beauty offers endless possibilities to spark creativity. This month’s Art After Dark event celebrates the vivid colors of imagination that brighten even the grayest winter days. Let’s gather, dream, and create together!
When: January 17, 6:00 - 9:00 PM
What’s Included: Pizza dinner
