We have been involved since the Creative Arts Center was created. It is an inspiring story and touches each person in a special way. We nicknamed it “The League” in the early days

The Kirkland Art Center is a wonder piece of Kirkland past, that is long getting lost in all the new fancy building being constructed. I would love to see this piece of history restored to its fullest!!

Took my very first pottery making class at the Arts Center many years ago. What a great place!

Most recently I’ve been shooting work of the artists at the KAC, and have enjoyed the progression of ideas and talents of the members there. The KAC fulfills an important role in bringing cutting edge installations to the Kirkland public and surrounding community. Cutting edge in an Historical location; a great combination!

Wise Words from Merrily Dicks

From the Seattle Times Archives:

“The Peter Kirk Building binds us together,” she says. “It’s the soul of the Arts Center.”

Education at Kirkland Arts Center

Kirkland Arts Center (KAC) serves nearly 2,000 students of all ages each year with classes in ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, painting, drawing, and multimedia. Our quarterly schedule includes first-time student classes, mini classes for those with challenging schedules and full quarter (8 – 10 week) classes for beginners through advanced students.

KAC houses a large classroom for painting and drawing, a printmaking studio, and a complete ceramics facility, including two gas-fired kilns. Our instructors are leaders in their fields and are committed to a positive and encouraging classroom environment.

We believe that arts education is key to a vibrant community.  Engaging in visual arts can be exhilarating and thought-provoking.  We think everyone deserves the opportunity to learn about art, to explore process and technique, to have fun and be inspired.
