Business Description:A one of a kind art center, we craft experiences in the arts for people of all ages. We have a variety of avenues for people to engage either actively or passively in the arts and explore personal creative expression on their own terms.
The experience:
1) Art classes & workshops - short courses & on-going classes in painting, pottery, dance, music, theatre, photography, craft, foreign languages etc
2) Corporate workshops, camps & special events for adults and children based on seasonal themes
