We host a variety of events throughout the year, including art exhibitions, workshops, and performances. Our events are open to everyone and are a great way to get involved in the arts community.

In 2025, the Piqua Arts Council proudly hosted a full series of high-quality, multi-day artist workshops featuring nationally recognized instructors.

• March – Watercolor Workshop with Chris Leeper: Participants spent four days diving into watercolor techniques, composition, and color exploration under the guidance of an award-winning watercolor artist.
• July – Oil Workshop with Gavin Glakas: This summer session brought professional oil instruction to Piqua, offering demonstrations, critiques, and hands-on studio practice focused on portraiture and realism.
• October – Pastel Workshop with Carol Strock Wasson: Artists closed the year with a vibrant pastel workshop exploring color harmony, landscape composition, and expressive mark-making, led by a nationally acclaimed pastel artist.

Each workshop ran from 9:00am to 4:00pm over four full days, with lunch provided daily. Thanks to the support of our generous sponsors, registration fees remained extremely affordable and accessible. The 2025 workshop series brought together artists from across the region and reinforced PAC’s commitment to providing exceptional creative education.
