Happy New Year! May 2014 be a great year of creativity, joy, health and prosperity for you and yours. 

 

The year begins at The Center with a photography exhibit curated by Mel Leipzig, the start of the winter session of classes and workshops, and the ceramics program relocated to a new space in Studio One. Start the year with us!

Winter Classes & Workshops
  

Registration is ongoing for winter classes which begin on January 7th and run through March and many classes still have spaces available. Do not wait any longer to sign up if you would like a spot with your name on it! 

 

If you have a busy schedule and can't commit to a full class, you can still get your creative juices flowing in the New Year with one of our Saturday workshops (see January Workshops at right).

Members' Exhibit Reception
Calling Past, Present & Future Members!
 
Are you a member of The Center, a lapsed member, or not a member at all? This year we want to build our membership program to be the best it can be, and to do so we need your help!

Do you have  ideas for classes or workshops, panel discussions, programs, events, or member benefits that would improve The Center's membership program? If so, we want to hear from you.

Please email Danielle Wolfrum, Development Assistant with your ideas. Would you be willing to participate in a focus group to explore ideas for the membership program at The Center? Let her know that as well.
