Classes in the fall term will be in session from August 25th through December 4th.
Saturday Program: The Saturday Program is open to students ages 10 to 18. Classes take place on Saturdays from August 29th through December 12th from 10 AM to 12 PM. This “Intro to Art” class will include painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, mask making, and puppetry.
