The Visual Art Institute in Salt Lake City is holding an introduction to oil painting, an 8-week course. The class is open for the full 8-week registration, or for single dates. Classes are held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays from March 31st through May 19th.

If you’ve ever wanted to try oil painting but felt unsure where to begin, or you didn’t want to commit to the cost of supplies, this is the perfect class for you. We’ll start with the simplest fundamentals, building confidence step by step as you learn essential techniques. From there, we’ll gradually expand your skills, allowing you to explore the richness and versatility of oil paint in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

OPEN STUDIO:

During the first week of class, we will discuss the times and rules of using the studio and equipment during non-class hours. This is only available to students currently registered in the class.

REFUND POLICY:

We are only able to offer refunds up to 2 weeks before the start of class. We do not offer refunds or credits or make-up classes to students who miss class.

TRANSFER POLICY:

We may be able to transfer you to a different class depending on space availability.

CLASS CANCELLATION:

We find that students learn better in larger groups. If we feel the number of registrations is too low to promote a good learning environment, we may cancel the class. In the event we cancel a class, we will reach out to you as soon as possible.

TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:

We try to make our classes as accessible to everyone as possible. We are able to offer a limited number of tuition assistance scholarships each term. You can complete an application on our website or call our office for assistance applying. Applications are available in Spanish and English.

MULTI-CLASS DISCOUNT:

When you register for more than one class, you can receive a discount up to 10% per class! You must call and register through the front office for this discount.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
