If 2026 is the year you plan to learn a new skill or start a hobby, then the art classes at Lawton's Carnegie Library are the perfect opportunity for just that! The City of Lawton's Arts and Humanities Division will host six different art classes at Carnegie Library this spring.

Last year, the City of Lawton's Arts and Humanities Division started hosting art classes at Lawton's historic Carnegie Library taught by local professionals. Locals signed up to learn more about watercolors, writing, drawing and more. Since then, the division has hosted different classes in the spring, summer and fall.

The spring 2026 Carnegie Library Art Classes will feature writing, drawing, painting, photography and paper mache.
