Wednesday Night Workshops

The purpose of RMCAD’s Wednesday Night Workshops is to provide high school students in the Denver metro area an opportunity to learn about the variety of college majors in art and design. With fun, creative, hands-on activities led by RMCAD faculty members and continuing education instructors, students get a chance to explore their areas of interest in art and design, build their skills and interact with other students who share their interests.

Classes take place from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. Each session costs just $15 to attend and you may sign up for as many as you like.

A confirmation letter reminding you of start date, time and location will be emailed to you upon registration. Please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes in advance of the start of each session. (The first time you attend, please arrive at 6:00 to sign in and take a tour of our campus.) You may park in the visitor parking on the north side of the Texas Building or in the faculty/staff lot along the main drive. All materials are provided.

If you have any questions, please email hsprograms@rmcad.edu.

Please note: no refunds will be issued for Wednesday Night Workshops. However, payment can be transferred to a future class as long as notification is made at least 2 hours prior to the start of the original workshop.
