Our philosophy at the Gallery School at NOA states that an education in the arts is not a luxury but is an essential part of a well-rounded education.  The study and practice of visual arts and music have been proven to compliment and enhance the studies of mathematics and science by stimulating and balancing all areas of the brain.  The Gallery School at NOA and the artists and teachers of NOA GALLERY are a community educational resource which fosters a positive, supportive environment for the budding artist to explore her/his creative connection.

 We provide intimate, high-quality art instruction in a variety of mediums giving students of all ages the opportunity to learn new or improve existing techniques/skills, and most importantly, connect with and trust their own creative spirit.  Music instruction is now offered at the gallery.  The Gallery School is a safe and encouraging environment in which to learn and grow.  The art student or musician receives instruction in a formal gallery setting surrounded by the beautiful works of art.
