Programs at O’Hanlon

Programs offered at O’Hanlon Center for the Arts emphasize the creative process and the continued pursuit of meaning and authenticity through observation, exploration, and experimentation. Our programs are not geared toward developing or perfecting an artistic product; rather, they’re designed to allow your own perceptions to inspire your art.
We come together to discover something surprising and fresh inside each of us—and we are always open to suggestions from members and outside facilitators for new workshops and programs.
