If you are interested in the arts and live in Raleigh, taking a class or two at Pullen Arts Center must be on your«to do list». I have been both a student and an instructor at Pullen. In either capacity, this arts center, the classes it provides, and the community of characters within it is top notch! There is never a dull moment and always a new art skill to master or craft project to complete. I love taking beginner classes in new mediums and have enjoyed every class I’ve taken(even those where my skills never really improved!). As an instructor, I gain so much creative energy from my students — both new and returning. It’s amazing to see your same old art medium like it’s brand new — through the eyes of someone just getting started and discovering the wonders. I highly recommend anyone to try a class or two — you’ll learn something new and meet fantastic people at the same time.

No reviews yet for the Pullen Arts Center? Unthinkable! PAC is an absolute gem in Raleigh’s crown, and a blessing to the creative-minded. The center may look unassuming from the outside, but inside you’ll find classes in everything from knitting to weaving, printmaking to pottery, basic beading techniques to advanced metalsmithing for jewelry, and so much more! Classes are affordable, geared toward a wide range of skills and ages, and very enjoyable. The summer program features a great kids’ camp that fills up very quickly and provides kids of all ages and backgrounds a chance to have fun and develop their creative and artistic skills at the same time. The staff both running the center and teaching the classes are kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable, which makes for an easy time in both signing up and taking the classes. Most of the instructors are themselves local artists and craftspeople who enrich our city with diverse and unique talents, and generously share their skills with the community at large. Raleigh is very fortunate to have a place like this, offering such varied and interesting public classes — find your creative calling there today!
