We have gotten "creative" with Creative Arts at IVCC! There are a number of class formats to choose from including: smaller in-person classes, curbside art projects, "family" and me and even online courses. We are also now offering classes at the Habitat ReStore-Peru! 

Due to smaller in-person class sizes, please check with us if a class you are interested in is full. We may add additional class dates during the semester if classes should fill up. 

Made in the Illinois Valley
Join IVCC’s talented creative arts instructors for an exciting opportunity to get creative, explore  a new hobby and learn to make one-of-a-kind handmade projects. There are a a variety of one night workshops to choose from.

Our instructors are local art teachers and artists who are eager to share their passion of the arts with you. Get together with friends and share a unique experience at one of our make-it-take-it sessions or make class a date night!
