The Art Center has been offering an interdisciplinary visual arts program for students in Kindergarten-12th grade at the Community Center since 1990. The Art Center encourages students to explore their individual creative needs by defining their own projects. On any given day at the Art Center, you might see a high school student making black and white prints in our photo lab. A 5th grader might be working on a quilt, a 3rd grader finishing a wood project, while other students are working on a self-portrait, glazing a pot they threw on one of our potter's wheels or relaxing in our easy chair and reading a book. Art Center students of all ages can be seen collaging, weaving, sculpting, print making, paper making, painting and puppet making side by side. At the Art Center we help our students develop an appreciation for the value of learning. The choices at the Art Center are extensive and our teachers are prepared to provide the inspiration and information necessary for students to reach their individual goals. Call to register.
