Join the Watercolor Figure Academy at Visual Art Institute! Immerse yourself in a transformative week of focused study with the Visual Art Institute’s Watercolor Figure Academy, an intensive one-week workshop designed for adult students and art educators who want to deepen their skills and elevate their artistic voice. Each day, you’ll work directly from the live figure—sharpening your drawing in the morning and expanding your watercolor painting skills in the afternoon. With daily, in-depth critiques, you’ll engage meaningfully with fellow artists, gain valuable insights, and receive personalized direction to strengthen each successive study. By the end of the week, you’ll have powerful new skills and portfolio-worthy artwork that reflects true growth. Visual Art Institute stands out for its ability to help students build the right kind of portfolio for educator certification and professional advancement. Our instructors—professional artists who also teach at leading colleges and universities—bring real expertise and mentorship to every session. No matter your artistic goals, learning to draw and paint from the figure in sustained sessions is an invaluable asset. This immersive experience is unique to Visual Art Institute, and those who participate leave better prepared to develop their voice and make their mark in the art world. We highly recommend students to have taken at least one drawing class before registering for Figure Academy. EVEN IF YOU HAVE JOINED US BEFORE, PLEASE REVIEW THE SUPPLY LIST!!!

Dance as Medicine: The Neuroscience of Dance for Health and Well-Being with Instructor Juan Carlos Claudio Dance is far more than artistic expression or physical exercise. Research continues to show that purposeful movement combined with music can positively influence the brain, body, and emotional well-being. This interactive workshop explores the neuroscience of dance as a therapeutic practice and demonstrates how movement can serve as a practical tool to support mental health, cognitive function, physical performance, and quality of life. Participants will learn how rhythm, music, movement, creativity, and social connection influence the nervous system and contribute to healthier well-being regardless of age. Drawing from current neuroscience research and the Grey Matters Rhythmic Movement, Music and Dance Program, the workshop combines brief presentations with experiential activities that participants can immediately apply in healthcare, community, educational, and wellness settings. Participants should come prepared to move, learn, and experience firsthand how dance can become a powerful resource for promoting health across the lifespan. No registration is needed. 
All of the events are entirely free thanks to the financial support from the Sorenson Unity Center, Salt Lake County Zoo Arts and Parks, Utah Division of Arts and Museums, National Endowment for the Arts, Salt Lake City Arts Council, and Creative West.
