Brilliant Talents, Unique Experiences

Our courses wouldn’t exist without the talent, dedication, and care of these fine artist instructors. We’re incredibly thankful for them, and we know you’ll learn a great deal under their tutelage!

I love the variety of knowledge that everyone has here … the instructors all have a specialty but they’re all educated in everything across the board … whether it’s sewing, welding, faux food,
there are so many skills sets all in one spot.

Past Artists-in-Residence

Each summer, Off the Wall works with an Artist-in-Residence who designs the concept, sets and props that students work on. The designer meets with the students during the summer program to help them understand, interpret and realize the designs, much like backstage artists do in a real-life working situation. We are proud to have worked with these Artists-in-Residence over the years.
