Mission: Pterodactyl's mission is to revive the enjoyment and practice of creating art for personal fulfillment, to create exhibitions and experiences that resonate with diverse audiences, and to bring people together through the arts.

Founded in 2009, Pterodactyl brings art and art-making to the public by providing low-cost art classes and studio spaces and by presenting performances, lectures, screenings and exhibits.

Art Classes: Pterodactyl offers 2-3 sessions per year of evening art classes and workshops for adults.
