Here at the Charles E. Burchfield Nature & Art Center, we are proud to offer our community rich and diverse educational programming to suit its many interests. 
 
We are dedicated to providing creative and thoughtful instruction through a wide array of qualified artists and professionals across many fields and disciplines. Emphasis is placed on self discovery and expression through studio classes, workshops and seminars based in fine arts, nature, philosophy and various aspects of culture and lifestyle. 
 

We have also structured our classes to suit our communities various levels of experience. Our Fine Arts division offers students instruction at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Our seminar offerings have been developed to accommodate general audiences at various levels with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and participate in discussions. 

In addition, we are pleased to offer our Art Students complimentary 'Open Studio Time' on Sundays from 11am to 3pm.  Should you find you need more space to work on your projects, our doors will be open for you.  Also, the staff at Hyatt Art Supplies in Buffalo & Clarence are ready to assist you with gathering your materials for class.  They have been given supply lists from our classes and are waiting to help.  

We hope you enjoy our selections and find something that interests you.  Should you have any questions, please call us...
