About Us

Art Encounter is a nonprofit visual art education organization founded in 1978 with the mission to bring an appreciation of art and the creative process to people of all ages and backgrounds.  Our founders developed a unique interactive discussion method that helps people discover artistic concepts while sharing individual perceptions. We bring original art works and workshops to schools, residences for the elderly, and community centers. We also lead groups to museums, art galleries, and private collections to discuss works of art.
