IN-PERSON ART WORKSHOPS
A mix of Art Workshops are offered throughout the year at the Senior Center and our satellite locations. Each workshop usually meets once a week and runs anywhere from one to eight weeks, with specific start and end dates. Workshops provide a more structured experience, focusing on specific techniques and skills. Some workshops return regularly, while others are offered once or twice as we explore new topics and reach new interests.
Art Workshops require preregistration and prepayment to reserve your spot.
