Our young student artists use a variety of mediums -- ranging from pen-and-ink through acrylics and watercolors and ceramics. 

The range of subject matter is introduced by our artist instructors and encourages a wide range of creative interpretations by our young artists.

There will be an artists' reception on Friday, July 28th at 5 pm and light refreshments will be served. It's a great opportunity to talk to the young artists and their parents and see how they were inspired. Bring the kids. 

It's also a chance to see if you have your own budding artist in the family. 
Our local creative kids have put aside the video games to create some great artwork. The range of styles and levels of talent are pretty amazing and creativity is alive and well in our West Valley children.

Their current artwork is on display in the West Gallery from July 25th through the 29th.  Come out to the gallery to enjoy their work in the main gallery area and while you are here you can also view the hundreds of works from our regular WHAM artists.

​Be sure to bring the kids - this display is sure to inspire their creativity and get their imaginations going.

  Thanks to generous donations from the community WHAM is able to present  FREE Veterans and First Responders programs at the WHAM Art Center in Surprise and the Peoria Community Center in Old Town Peoria. 

   The response from the veterans community has been so positive and  the work has been really impressive. 

     Starting from July 3rd and running through the 24th the artwork from veterans will be on display and for sale, at the WHAM West Gallery at the WHAM Art Center in Surprise.

     WHAM has been offering to Veterans art classes free of charge for 3 years to those who have served our country and  recently we have opened classes to First Responders who serve our community. 

      We'd love to see you visit and enjoy the work our veterans have created and tell us your response to seeing it within this blog.
