Whether you are a beginner or a professional artist, the Bay School is your source for training, art materials, encouragement, opportunity and fun!

The Bay School is a non-profit 501c3 whose mission is to provide quality art education to all people, regardless of age or ability.  By providing approximately 130 classes per year to adults and children and 15-20 art outreach programs to underserved populations, we are fulfilling that mission.

 

We are comprised of a Gallery, Art Supply Store, 3 classrooms (the gallery doubles as a classroom) and a small lending library of wonderful art books.

 

 

Located on Main Street in Mathews, Virginia, the Bay School serves the local community and artists throughout the region.
