A note from Executive Director, Debra Petke:
"Thanks to all of you for your support over the past year! Danforth Art has a bright future as The Danforth Art Center at Framingham State University, to open in early 2019. I can assure you that Danforth Art School will remain devoted to teaching art to the community. Happily, Noelle Fournier will continue at the helm. And the Danforth Art Museum will again be open as a resource for art school faculty and students. We will have so much more to share in the coming months as we work out the details. Thank you again for sticking with us!" - Debra Petke
Danforth Art School, including the School Office, will be temporarily relocated to 23 Salem End Road House on the campus of Framingham State University. Starting in April, 2018.
Danforth Art Faculty consists of over 40 professional artists and art instructors dedicated to the teaching process. Over 300 classes and workshops are offered annually for preschoolers, children, teens, adults and teachers, inspiring artists at all levels to explore drawing, painting, watercolor, and other materials and techniques.
