Kids Can Get CreARTive at The Art Guild, Saturday August 22

Families are invited to an open house with FREE art-related activities at The Art Guild

Families are invited to CreARTive at The Art Guild, on Saturday August 22, from 1-4 pm. The open house with FREE art-related activities such as tie dying, simple printmaking and more, is a way for parents to meet instructors and familiarize themselves with The Art Guild. The projects will be geared for ages 5 through 12.

“We had a thriving children’s art school before a fire forced us to close in September 2011,” said Susan Herbst, Associate Executive Director. “We’d like to reintroduce ourselves to the community and let parents know that we offer fun, reasonably priced art classes for students of all ages – from kindergarten through high school, as well as college and beyond.”

The fall schedule of classes for children and adults will be announced in late August.
