37

Private art teachers. You never really know who or what you’re getting. That’s what makes Armory2Go such a rare opportunity and solid value. Armory Teaching Artists are rigorously-trained teachers and professional artists with advanced degrees from the nation’s top art schools. Some have gone on to major art careers, and some are well on their way. All Armory Teaching Artists undergo extensive background checks and are held to the highest professional standards. For the past 25 years, the Armory’s been a nationally recognized leader in arts education for one simple reason: we only work with the best and brightest. Now, in the privacy of your home, you can too. Individuals or groups, children or adults... it’s your choice. Pick a material and a location, and we’ll supply the expert Teaching Artist. Got a teen thinking about art school? We can help with portfolio development, too.
