Visual Arts Classes
One of the primary focuses of expanding our summer offerings was the inclusion of visual arts classes for the youth of the area. We are excited to make that come to fruition.
This summer we will be offering art classes to our Little League Players, completion of grades 2-4 only and our Junior Theatre Troupe, completion of grades 5-8.
Registration for our art classes is $100. Students registering for Art and Summer Youth Theatre will receive the art class registration at half off.
