To all our members interested in arts programs, this opportunity is for you!!
Join us for our upcoming YMCA Art Program, returning this spring! Beginning on March 23 and running for 10 weeks, this hands-on workshop is designed for artists of all skill levels. Sessions will take place every Monday from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
What to Expect:
Over the course of the program, participants will have the opportunity to explore a variety of art techniques, such as perspective, light and shadow, texture, and more. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, we’ll guide you through different mediums, including acrylics, watercolor, collage, and sculpture, while studying both contemporary and historical artists. Our focus is on process over product, encouraging creative exploration, expression, and growth.
Returning members, no worries! Projects won’t be repeated so everything is fresh and exciting!
