This Bella Vista neighborhood gem is home to a small rotating gallery of drawings, paintings, sculpture, and photography by mostly local artists. But the coolest thing about Fleisher is the low-priced and free art classes offered on an ongoing basis.
This is a great opportunity for everyone from beginners to advanced artists to hone their skills in a supportive and affordable environment. Advanced workshops and classes, including photography, sculpture, art history, and many types of drawing and painting, are offered for a fee.
