This program includes an annual pendleton free rock and roll camp in which 100 teens participate. Additional free programming has been instituted for youth aged 5-12 consisting of weekly saturday morning and monday evening sessions. Adult evening classes are also offered year round in six week instructional sessions. The pendleton center for the arts contains two exhibition galleries in which 11 admission-free exhibits are presented per year. Each exhibit is accompanied by a formal opening and artist's reception during which free food and beverages are served.
