Happy August!

Summer art camps for children and teens are in full swing, and our Carter-Kelsey building is bursting at the seams with creative expression. We've had everyone from pirates to fairies making merry in the summer heat. Please join us and see how much fun art can be!

You'll find links to our Fall 2013 Classes and Workshops below - we've developed a wonderful program for you. Our print publication, featuring complete exhibition and special program schedules will be released mid-month, so watch for the August 17 Valley News and check your mailbox, too.

All best wishes,
