Summer Workshops

Whimsical Wednesday Workshops!

These 2-hour workshops are designed to provide you, your child and/or your family a fun night out with the arts. Each workshop program starts with an informal pizza dinner (the first 30 minutes of each program), followed by a fun arts experience. Workshops are held in the great outdoors in the Summer Art Tent (or in the Main Gallery in case of inclement weather). The cost of the pizza is included in the workshop price. Sign up for one or sign up for them all! (FAA registration fee is waived for one-day workshops. Early registration incentive discount is not applicable on one-day workshops).
