Arts Education Programming lies at the center of the ZACC mission to provide art instruction, experiences, and opportunities to a wide variety of ages and incomes.

Adult Education programming consists of 2 hour workshops in the evenings during the week.

Creative teens receive support and education through our mentoring program and can join any of our adult workshops unless listed. The ZACC is an outlet for teens to express themselves through art, learn and practice skills, and interact with professionals in the field.

Our most successful educational programming serves children from the entire valley area regardless of income. During the school year, our Young Artist Afterschool Program (YAAP) engages children in community art projects such as murals and mosaics, and individual projects. More concentrated art enrichment comes through the nine different camps in the summer; each focuses on a different disciplines or cultures.

These programs are sponsored in part by the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation, the Silver Foundation, the Harrington Charitable Trust, and the Gallagher Foundation. We thank you so much for your generous support of these programs for Missoula!
