Why Pigeon Arts?

Pigeons may not be celebrated as especially beautiful birds, but pigeons can fly just the same.  At Pigeon Arts we emphasize learning based on the unique creative process of each student artist.  While this approach may be out of the ordinary, its effect is dramatic.  Each student finds her or his own way to render creative works that not only utilize traditional techniques but also incorporate personal meaning and integrity.  Students learn that the journey of creation is equally important as the finished piece.

Since January of 2008, Pigeon Arts has provided creative programming to 300 participants.
