About
Silverton Arts Association Classes and Workshops offers classes for adults and youth, including a Parent/Child Clay Workshop and a Stained Glass Class. The program also offers open studio hours where visitors and members can use the space with resident artists hosting the community arts space during open hours.
• Schedule: Community arts space and Silverton Arts Association hours are Wednesday–Friday 12pm–3pm and Sunday 1pm–4pm.
The Silverton Arts Association states that its primary purpose is to nurture, exhibit, inform, and promote appreciation and practice of the arts in the greater Silverton area, and that through education it will increase public understanding and practice of the arts for present and future generations. Programming is described as affordable and professional, and teachers have work experience with Disney, PBS, Stanford University, and more. The Borland Community Arts Space offers free art supplies, coffee, and creative community to visitors, and the Art Center hosts cultural and educational events throughout the year, as well as space for other local arts nonprofits like the Mural Society and Poetry Association. The Association provides art teachers and supplies for local public schools, with over 1000 students served in 2023–2024.
The leadership team includes Jonathan Case (President), Simone Stewart (Board Member), Mike Turner (Secretary), Mike Baggetta (Board Member), Kate Durrant (Board Member), Megan Smith (Treasurer), and Anne Pinkowski (Programming Director, volunteer). Jonathan Case is an award-winning author and illustrator whose 2022 book, Little Monarchs, was named a best book of the year by NPR and School Library Journal. Mike Turner is the creator of award-winning autobiographical documentaries The Way We Talk (2016) and Monument (2023). Mike Baggetta is an award-winning contemporary fine artist, and Anne Pinkowski’s works have been exhibited nationally and have earned numerous awards for creativity and originality. Simone Stewart is a member of the Silverton Rotary Club, and Megan Smith is dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of textile production while celebrating the beauty of reuse and is described as passionate about community access to arts and culture.
One Parent/Child Clay Workshop participant, Olivia, says, “Art makes me feel happy because I can make creations. I love learning . I also love dinosaurs.” A Stained Glass Class participant, Sarah D., says, “I love having a place where I can support local artists, tap into their talents with the classes offered, and feel part of the creative community. The Silverton Arts Center is such a valuable resource to our town.”
