Evanston Art Ctr

A living, breathing 75 year old Art Center thrives and grows in 2006 and breathes life into the community. Upon approaching the grounds to this historic landmark you can feel yourself go back to a less complicated time. Housed in an old English style mansion built on the lakefront, allowed the original owners the priviledge of having their own private beach. The beach section is now open to the public. This facility offers classes from every art media they can think of including painting, drawings, ceramics and sculpting.

PROS: Beautiful grounds and mansion, lakefront setting
CONS: Limited parking

The Evanston Art Center is a great place to learn to paint, make jewelry, learn to sculpt, create pottery, and many other artistic expressions. There are classes for both teens and adults, as well as one-day workshops for beginners and those trying to learn a more difficult technique. The Art Center features gallery shows and an outstanding Christmas show, perfect for finding just the right gift that you can't find in any store. The emphasis here is on fine art, and this is a great local resource for all art lovers, whether you're a practitioner or just like to buy.

PROS: Classes and shows are outstanding
CONS:
