About Harbor City Art

Harbor City Art is a working arts studio offering small-group classes, workshops, and creative experiences for adults.

Programs include pottery, painting, basketry, drawing, jewelry, watercolor, and more in a relaxed and welcoming studio environment.

Focused, Small-Group, Adult Arts Instruction

Harbor City Art offers intentionally small classes designed for real instruction, creativity, and conversation.

Students of all experience levels are welcome, whether learning for the first time or returning to art after many years away.

Classes are taught in a calm, supportive environment where students can learn at their own pace with individual guidance and personal attention.

Learn — Create — Connect

Beyond classes, Harbor City Art also hosts seasonal exhibits, artist gatherings, workshops, and creative events that bring people together through art.

The studio is designed to feel welcoming, approachable, and creatively inspiring — a place to slow down, make things by hand, and enjoy the process of learning alongside others.

Founded by an Educator

Harbor City Art was founded by educator Georgina Olsen, a former Brevard Public Schools teacher and librarian with more than three decades of experience in education.

After retiring from the classroom, Gina searched for a place where serious instruction and genuine creative community existed side by side for adults—and could not find one. Harbor City Art was created to fill that need: a space shaped by educational values, where creativity, teaching, mentorship, and human connection remain central.

That educational foundation continues to shape Harbor City Art’s commitment to accessible, community-based adult learning.

Harbor City Art chose nonprofit status to strengthen its long-term commitment to adult art education, community-based programming, and accessible creative opportunities.

This structure helps support classes, exhibitions, and cultural programming designed to serve the community while preserving Harbor City Art as a place where adults can learn, create, and connect.
