Summer Camps 2012
April 2012 
Greetings!

Please check out our Spring class offerings and Summer Camps. We have a range of things for both beginners and more advanced students. There are just a few spots left in the Still Life Oil Painting class!

 

I am excited about our NEW Lecture Series on Contemporary Art. You can sign-up for the whole series of 4 lectures held every other week or attend individual ones. I hope that this becomes a staple in our class offerings.

 

Several of our camps are full day and will include both indoor and outdoor activities. Register by May 15th to receive $15 off any of our camps. If you are a member you receive an additional 10% off!
