Fine Arts

From drawing to painting to sewing, the Devonshire Cultural Center offers professional instruction in many areas of the fine arts for participants of all ages. Involvement in the fine arts is associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill. Research also shows that fine art stimulates motivation, concentration, confidence, teamwork, and a connection to the world and society, leading to an increased ability to form social bonds and a sense of community.
