What's On - Art Classes and Events in April 2025

We have plenty of events and art classes for kids and adults, in our workshop in sunny Bangor, Co Down.

Learning new skills, making friends, booking some me-time, whatever your reason, we’ve something for all ages!

Our workshops are led by experienced art facilitators and the company will be friendly and relaxed so come along, and why not grab a friend and make a social event of it?

Tots to Teens - Art & Craft Workshops for Children

Messy Play and Seasonal Kids workshops return, as well as iCreate digital art club and the Home Education art sessions.

Don’t miss Graham at WWT Castle Espie on 6th April with a special class for Boom - Insect Animation! Part of their Aardman event promoting “Lloyd of the Flies”.

Here’s the full lineup!

Workshops for Adults

Our facilitators are raring to go this April - we have loads of art classes for adults! Check them out below.

Some are starting new terms in April - take advantage of a 3-block booking discount for both of Jenni’s classes for the Apr-June term ( sketch walks and landscape painting), whilst other rolling classes such as Les’ abstract art have multi-passes you can buy and apply any time!

Although these classes are specifically for over 18s, some of our adult class facilitators may accept younger participants by arrangement, with an additional participating guardian, subject to availability and the suitability of the activity. Please get in touch with the facilitator to enquire.

Open Art

Our general drop-in has now paused, however the Creative Numeracy continues!

Extended for the first 2 weeks in April, these classes will use art to address everyday numeracy concepts. This welcoming class is aimed at adults aged 19+, who do not have English as a first language, and do not hold a school-level maths qualification.

Late Night Art Bangor

We love to see it! The City comes alive at night for the third month of Late Night Art Bangor.

Take a drop-in workshop, visit our artists in the studio, view the artwork exhibited on our walls.

6-9pm on the last Thursday of each month - tomorrow night’s lineup is linked below and make sure you keep it in the diary for April too!
