Spring has Sprung

There is still a chill in the air, but the trees are starting to bud and lots of opportunities are flowering here at Pendulum.

Welcome to our latest season sponsor Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt. Their contributions to local arts & culture are invaluable to the whole community. We're delighted to have them on board.

We have lots of fun activities & raffle prizes lined up for our April 17th Community Day. And don't miss our show In the Studio on April 22 & 23rd.

We have had record enrollment in our Winter Term recreational classes, thanks largely to the article featured in the Oregonian about Pendulum's education program.

We anticipate a busy and fun Summer Intensive. It's not too early to think about those summer plans for your kids.

Read on for more details about enrolling in upcoming classes, our April shows, and other upcoming appearances.
