NSAA Pumpkin Festival Juried Art Fair
Pumpkin festival is an annual event held in the Village of Grafton, Wisconsin. NSAA holds various arts events at our facility and around town. Queries about entering work in the art fair should be directed at Paula Christensen.
We are also showing different photography pieces from students and employees of NSAA. Please make sure to visit the gallery space on your next visit.
Graphic Design Classes
Register for private or semi-private lessons to learn basic skills to use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Photo retouching, image enhancing and manipulation, and color correction, as well as learning the tools for manipulation of line, color and text to produce digital drawings and images will be explored. Once the basics are covered, students move on to create original artwork such as logos, ads and illustrations.
You can also take lessons to learn how to create your own website! Register for private or semi-private lessons to learn the basics in html language and website design.
Space is limited so register early! These lessons can be found in our most recent version of our Programming Guide found for download at the link at the top of the screen.
