Otis S. Johnson Cultural Arts Center
About
The Otis S. Johnson Cultural Arts Center is Savannah's city-run arts facility on Montgomery Street, offering low-cost classes across visual arts, dance, and ceramics.
Programs
- Visual Arts Camps - drawing, painting, mixed-media for grades 1-6
- Performing Arts Camps - theater and stage skill camps
- Specialty Camps - rotating themed weeks across summer
- Clay - hand-building and pottery sessions
- Ballet and Jazz - dance classes for ages 5-8 and up
What's Included
All materials are supplied - no need to bring brushes, paint, or clay tools. Tuition stays low because the center runs through the City of Savannah's Cultural Resources department.
Experience
The building runs Monday-Thursday 9am-7pm and Friday 9am-6pm with afternoon sessions stacked for after-school registration. As a city facility, it draws families looking for affordable structured arts classes outside the private-studio price tier.
