The AIT program is an after-school art club for students in grades 6-12. Students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of media while working at their own pace. By learning some of the techniques used by artists, they will train to become better at their own art making. These classes are perfect for both beginners and students who already make lots of art! The collaborative environment in our studio allows students to forge friendships, build self-confidence, and experience new perspectives while making art. Students can opt to attend one day per week, two days, or all sessions. Students are welcome to join at any point in the year. Classes are $15 for members or $30 non-members. 5 class and 10 class passes available.

A Season for Nonviolence

A Season for Nonviolence is a national 64-day educational, media, and grassroots campaign dedicated to demonstrating that non-violence is a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and our communities. The purpose of this event is to promote and spread the principles of nonviolence to create a more inclusive, understanding, and compassionate society, ultimately helping to bridge the social divide in communities across America.
In January 2024 , representatives from the King, Gandhi, Scott and Mandela families are set to visit the International Peace Museum for a special series of events. This juncture holds the potential for a transformative moment—one that embodies strength, introspection, and a call to action in the pursuit of love, nonviolence, and peace. The coming together of these influential families to inaugurate the 2024 Season of Nonviolence carries profound symbolism. It sends a resounding message to our nation that peace is indispensable for the well-being of all, and its significance can endure for generations to come.
