Who says summer school is no fun? From trying new techniques to creating something completely one-of-a-kind, we've loved seeing so much creativity come to life in our summer classes. Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their talents, and spent part of their summer creating at the Arts Center. We can't wait to see what we'll make together next! 🎨
