"Practicing an art, no matter how well, is a way to make your soul grow."
That growth is what the new Boomer U at Heartwood College of Art is all about. “Boomer U” is designed specifically for "boomers and seniors" who want to earn a college certificate in the Visual Arts with their peers, but don’t want to be tied down to a rigid academic year schedule.

Courses from Foundation, Studio, Academics and Electives are offered each quarter. These selections are determined by sequence and enrollment.
