Come join The Corinth Area Arts Council Education Department! At it’s new home at the Corinth Arts Education Center, the council hopes to offer comprehensive arts education for the region. All classes and workshops are available through our scholarship program, allowing students to attend through a need-based assistance system. Age ranges are suggested and exceptions are made based on the cognitive, social, and artistic development of the students. All instructors undergo extensive background checks and must attend our Safe Child Instructor Workshops utilizing the Safe Child Program underwritten by the Coalition for Children. All programming for students seeks to enhance and expand the standards for K-12 schools in Mississippi per the Mississippi Department of Education.

We offer three different types of educational experiences.

Classes: Classes generally meet once a week over a given time period and require students to do home-based work between each class meeting. These classes, generally geared towards teens and adults explore a wide-range of topics and may require some materials to participate.

Camps: Camps generally meet every day on a given week, Monday through Friday. Camps provide a space for students of all ages to grow and all work is usually done during the camp hours with the camp instructor. At the end of a camp period, Camper work is usually displayed in a performance or exhibition.

Workshops: Workshops generally meet one time on a given date, usually a Saturday. Workshops tend to cover a topic briefly and may be at the beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels. All materials and refreshments are usually provided as part of the workshop fees. Students usually carry home a project of some kind at the end of the day, dependent upon the topic of the workshop!
