Once again, we have another action packed month ahead of us! From adult classes to Summer Art Camp and deadlines to events, check out what's coming up
at the Art Center.
|
|
The deadline for our upcoming exhibit,
Vessel
is this month.
On Friday, April 13, all entries are due.
Vessels hold, contain, and protect. They have myriads of purposes and can elicit countless meanings The transportation of blood, holding the morning coffee, transporting goods across the ocean, or carrying an unborn child, all point back to the same theme.
What do you hold close and how is it held?
