FROM HUMBLE
BEGINNINGS
Fifty-seven years ago, the North
Hills Art Center began meeting in the
homes of Ross Township residents. At
that time, it was known as the North
Hills Artist and Craftsmen’s Guild. Art
exhibits were held in area businesses,
North Park Skating Rink and new home
developments while the guild looked
for a building. In 1968, the group found
the White Heating Company at 3432
Babcock Boulevard and started a drive to
raise funds for the purchase. The North
Hills Art Center opened May 16, 1969,
with 352 members.
Today, the center is still going strong
with art classes, camps, workshops
and open studios. Classes are held
quarterly for all ages in painting, pottery,
watercolor, drawing and jewelry.
Workshops offer students a chance to
experience mediums such as Zentangle,
fused glass, enameling and hammered
metal, to name just a few. There are also
several gallery shows each year featuring
both local and emerging artists. Plus there
