Second Saturday.

SECOND SATURDAY

The Art Center is proud to announce the return of “Second Saturdays” a program designed for grades 1st through 5th. On the second Saturday of each month The Arts Center will offer a class built around a yearly theme. To kick off the program, we’ll be making projects inspired by a figure from art history.  Seats are limited so be sure to sign up at least 24 hrs in advance!
