A Summer Packed Full of Art and Learning

I remember when I was still in school and summer vacation would roll around. I would feel so optimistic that just one season of self-managed time would transform me into a worldly, creative superkid and I'd be so impressive by the time school started up again. Maybe if I'd had a summer workshop selection like this, I would have had a better shot! The following list is a whole three months worth of workshops at ArcWorks Community Art Center for kids, adults and the combination! 

Cheers to always trying to learn more and meet new neighbors!
