KAC TEEN ARTS COUNCIL
KAC’s Teen Arts Council (TAC) meets year-round to build a community of artists ages 13 – 19 who are interested in pursuing art beyond what is available at school. Meetings have covered topics like college prep, writing workshops, skill building, art making, and more. The TAC has plans for free meetings, workshops, and field trips this school year - the best way to stay in the loop is to visit their Instagram page, @kraslteens.
The group is always growing and open to new members — stop in every Thursday at 6 pm at KAC to check it out.
