Families are encouraged to come at 12pm on Friday, June 26th for a final art showcase, highlighting all the work students made over the week. Students will take home all pieces at the end of the week. Parents are encouraged to pack water and snacks for their kids. Aprons will be available for kids to wear, but we still encourage your child come in clothes they are okay with getting messy.

Weather permitting, some sections of class may be held outside on the picnic table or front porch. Classes will not leave the perimeter of the Arts Council building.
