Our School

TACS is a year-round nonprofit school promoting heritage and contemporary art-making practices. The school offers education and public programs with established artists visiting from across the United States, as well as ongoing opportunities with devoted regional instructors.

The school’s main facility is housed in a retrofitted public school building, with a regional artist shop, multiple exhibition spaces, and advanced technological studios in fiber arts, glass, lapidary, ceramics, jewelry, and wood. Separate facilities on TACS’ campus house a welding and torchwork studio and a traditional blacksmithing forge.
