The Art Barn is a funky, creative space that hosts art classes throughout the year! Our next batch of classes will run from September-December 2025. We will post class schedules in July for sign-ups!

We believe that making art, especially with other people, can connect us to ourselves, one another, and the living world around us. That is what we are all about at the Panther Creek Nature Center!

Maybe have you have always wanted to learn how to make a wreath out of muscadine grape vine? Or maybe you want to create your first nature sketchbook or landscape painting. We offer a rotating selection of classes geared to all artistic levels. No experience is necessary and all of our classes meet outdoors. More info can be found below! If you are an artist that would like to teach with us, please contact us. If we can find a way to collaborate on upcoming classes, we would love to!
