Join us starting Saturday, September 28th, for a fun and interactive 9-week children's arts and crafts program that meets every Saturday! Children will unleash their creativity with hands-on art projects designed to inspire their imaginations and artistic skills. Each session will be filled with fun and learning, providing opportunities to explore a variety of materials and techniques. The program will wrap up with a showcase where children can proudly display their creations for family and friends to admire!
