- FREE Family Workshop July 20, 1-3 pm
The Art Barn invites children & adults to make art together during this family workshop. We will be making paper beads using simple materials and techniques. Participants can paint their own design on paper or use materials on-hand to create their own beads and then string a bracelet, necklace, garland or suncatcher.
This FREE family workshop uses art-making to strengthen the adult-child bond. Whether working collaboratively or individually participants make decisions together, encourage each other and learn from one another in a safe, creative environment. (Recommended for ages 5+)
Space is limited. Please RSVP to https://form.jotform.com/91606121394150.
Our Mission

Who We Are
School, Gallery, Venue, Farm
The Art Barn has something for everyone. We offer year round classes and workshops for all ages, including open studio time. Each season brings new events, from the spring Juried Exhibition and Children’s Exhibit, to the autumn Art Blitz. Our main classroom and gallery comfortably seats 50 or more and is a perfect venue for small weddings and intimate parties.
The Art Barn School of Art was founded in the 1970’s by the much loved artist and teacher Janet Sullivan (1920-2016). Located on 69 acres of beautiful pastoral farmland in Jackson Township, the school is a century old renovated barn, and the farmhouse is artist residence. We are also home to chickens and other livestock, including our sweet mini horse, Bunny.
As we move into 2019, we continue to enrich our community with excellence in art education. Click here to stay up to date.
Come explore, create, relax, and let yourself wander in mind and body.
