To all our members interested in arts programs, this opportunity is for you!!
We’re thrilled to announce our program with the YMCA is returning in January for another 8-week art program designed for artists of all skill levels. Starting January 14th, 2025, this hands-on workshop will take place every Wednesday from 10:30 AM to 12:00 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.
