Classes and Workshops

Housed at the historical Baird Community House and located within walking distance from the center of town, The Baird presents an array of affordable classes in the visual arts, music and dance for all members of the family. Weekly classes are scheduled three times a year, in fall, winter and spring, with a few special classes offered in the summer. Open to all communities, South Orange residents receive a $10 discount with a current ID. Classes are taught by professional artists under the direction of the Department of Recreation and Cultural Affairs.

The Baird offers a new roster of classes with a tantalizing array of courses for everyone in the family.  As in the past, classes span both the visual and performing arts and serve students from infants through adulthood. Almost half the class offerings are new this fall,  and all are taught by professionals. Follow the link below for class descriptions and registration or register in person. Most Classes begin the week of September 19.

In addition to the class fee, some specialized classes include a materials or model fee, which is due to the instructor on the first day of class.
