This program will take place at Tilly Foster Farm.

We will continue to offer our ever popular summer program. It will take place at Tilly Foster Farm. This year we will offer the program in 2 week sessions. Students must enroll for all 8 days of the session.

Classes are taught in a non-competitive environment by qualified instructors who emphasize process over product and encourage students to enjoy the creative experience in ways that are unique and individual.
Students will enjoy a broad range of projects in drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media, pottery and more. Teachers will incorporate multi-cultural music, movement, discussion and drama in some of the activities.

$360/$350 PAC members per session.
Registration Information: Full tuition due upon registration.
