| | June Kicks off a Summer Full of Fun | | |
Summer class registration is open now and summer camp spots are filling fast!
Plans for our Annual Lemonade Social are underway, and we have a bunch of cool art-making activities for kids and adults looking to take a break, have some fun, explore a new skill or perfect your art, and come together at the arts center this summer!
If you missed us at Discovery Day, you can still do a fun project with the Teen Art Mentors on Fri. June 12.
| | | | |
If you have aged out of summer camp, there is still fun to be had for adults and teens.
Choose from offerings in ceramics (wheel & handbuilding), drawing & painting, printmaking, and crafts. Multi-week sessions, open studio hours, and one-day workshops are part of the line-up.
The season kicks off mid-June, with offerings throughout the summer.

Inside workers are pushing through HVAC and electrical connections and outside they are working on plumbing and framing in the new addition; next up is the connector between the two buildings.
We are expecting to have things operational in early fall - parking, restrooms, elevator, air conditioning, and waiting reception area where the old boiler was!
| | | | This past month, we reported back to the community in an online webinar regarding the feedback and concerns we received about the Summer Stage project. We also conducted a sound demo to evaluate music and spoken word levels. Based on community feedback, the Munroe Arts Board and Executive Director are fine-tuning a basic operating plan to address community concerns, and to provide an overview of the project and programming. This plan will be on the website in the coming weeks. The Summer Stage team will now be assessing potential programming ideas in more detail. | | |
