Group Art Sessions
SCROLL DOWN TO VIEW FULL SCHEDULE
Art Center offers group art experiences for all ages! Most programs run for six weeks, and the supply fees are included in the cost. Each program must meet the minimum enrollment to run.
We promote group learning at Art Center, where participants are emotionally, intellectually, and aesthetically engaged in solving problems. It is through creating and finding meaning, that each person grows through the ways of others!
