History
The Katherine Martin Widmer SCHOOL OF PAINTING began in two storefronts and remained there for six years. In 1985, it moved to a brand new studio built just for this purpose... a lovely space with skylight and beautiful views. The school thrives with 60 students each term in classes of about 10 people per class. People come from all backgrounds and a wonderful community emerges. An open, friendly, invigorating atmosphere pervades the whole experience.
