History
Art Works Now was founded by Barbara Johnson after recognizing the need for a new approach to visual arts education. Established in Mount Rainier, MD in 2011, Art Works Now has expanded its range of classes and refined its mission. We believe that art works, on both the individual and community levels. By providing an avenue for students to envision, create, and exhibit their artwork, we are able to realize this vision in a tangible and holistic way.
