Arts Education

Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild, Manchester Bidwell’s arts education affiliate, is divided into two main programmatic groups: MCG Youth & Arts and MCG Jazz. These programs serve art lovers young and old through workshops, courses and events designed to open the creative potential of the participants while teaching students our core philosophical values in a safe and encouraging environment.

MCG Youth & Arts offers educational experiences for youth during:

the school day

after school

in the evening.

Additionally, MCG Youth & Arts offers evening courses for adults through our Art After Dark program.

MCG Jazz’s youth education component, called School of Swing, occurs in May during the school day.
