We are expanding our programming to include a variety of one hour classes for children ages 2-8, in a variety of categories. These classes will be in accord with the visual arts standards for the state of Alabama. Every Saturday will feature a different art themed activity with 2 opportunities to register. Each class is one hour but sign up for both and enjoy 2 hours of creative play. This is an opportunity for younger children ages 2-8 to play, explore and learn what the arts have to offer. Children need to be accompanied by an adult during our Saturday sessions. January will feature 4 classes: Session A: Saturday, January 14; 11AM-12 PM Painting Session B: Saturday, January 14; 1PM-2 PM Painting Session C: Saturday, January 28; 11AM-12PM Air Dry Clay Session D: Saturday, January 28; 1PM-2PM Air Dry Clay This class will be located in the newly available Studio 2 which is located behind Rusty the big red dog on our campus. Look for the blue double doors in the Courtyard of Wonders! There is a minimum of 3 participants and a maximum of 14 per session. If the minimum is not met, participants will be refunded.  About Molly Nelko: A native of Mobile, AL, Molly Nelko has joined Kentuck’s staff as our Programming Assistant!
