Integral to the Redux mission is to educated our community about current practices in art though both an academic and hands on approach. We offer year-round art classes and workshops to the public, teaching traditional classes in painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture, as well as special topics classes such as stop motion animation, digital photography, fashion illustration and metal casting. Scholarships for classes and workshops are available for students under the age of 18 who demonstrate financial need.

In addition to our paid education classes, Redux holds outreach classes for local after-school groups such as the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, YO Art!, and Girl Scouts. These classes are offered year round at no cost to the students.
