Time sure flies when you’re having fun, and this summer is no exception! We are, somehow, in our last week of Summer Arts Venture. It’s been a great seven weeks with so many memories made. Jennifer and I will sure miss having our two interns around, who brought so much fun and creativity. Many thanks to Mary and Megan, who did such a great job bringing Theater and Art programming to so many students this summer, and helping us out with whatever we threw at them (4th of July face painting, Car Park art activities, etc.) Good luck with your next adventures! If you want to take a class with them still this week, sign up fast, the information is below.
As summer comes to a close (I know, I know, it’s still August, but some of these early mornings are already screaming autumn!) know we are in still full swing planning mode. We have Art Harvest and Zombie Crawl on the horizon, plus all the great regular classes we offer throughout the year. We are also starting to figure out what our scheduling for Home School Art classes will look like in the fall. We also still have our Summer FUNdraiser in two weeks, which will be a wonderful evening filled with delicious and unique food from Asana Suka and Northwoods Confectionary Creations, and so many opportunities to win great prize baskets, gorgeous artwork, gift certificates, and Northwoods experiences. 50% of our income comes from fundraising and donations, and this event is our biggest of the year. Get tickets now and come enjoy a lovely with us; we appreciate the support.
