Discover Your Inner Artist at the Flint Institute of Arts Museum + Art School April 22, 2025

Whether you live in the Flint & Genesee area or are just visiting, one stop you’ll want to make is the Flint Institute of Arts + Art School (FIA). The FIA is home to over 20 galleries and art spaces and art aficionados and casual art lovers will leave breathless. There is more to them than just art exhibits. The FIA is also home to an art school offering students the opportunity to learn from professional artists. The art school offers curious, budding and seasoned artists classes that will challenge and engage them. Focusing on introducing new skills and techniques or honing what someone already has, the art school’s focus is art and not grades. And for Donovan Entrekin, the director of the art school, it’s about much more.
