I love to visit the Penfield Arts Center for art shows, and invited co-owner Kristina Hutch Matthews to share what's going on this winter. Some cool classes are coming up, so let's take a look:
The Penfield Arts Center welcomes 2012 with a Monday morning meditation group from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., beginning Jan. 9. No previous meditation experience is necessary.
On Martin Luther King Day, parents can find inner calm by bringing children ages 5 – 12 for “Art and Story” activities on the morning of Jan. 16.
The Penfield Arts Center will also be offering the Creative Art Gym experience for kids ages 5 – 12 on the third Friday of each month. The theme for the first session, Jan. 20, will be Animal Storytelling Masks.
In February, Kristina will be teaching a class for 8 – 12-year-olds on Bookmaking, Writing and Illustrating.
Still in the works: Artists Kristina Hutch Matthews and Christine Waara are looking to form a dream analysis/discussion group to meet at the Arts Center. If interested, please call Kristina at 764-3493.
Additionally, dedicated young artists who have previously taken classes with Kristina are invited to join a drawing club/mentorship program, from 5:30 – 7 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, starting on January 11th.
To pre-register for any of these groups or classes email penfieldartscenter@gmail.com with the name, age, address and phone number of the participant. Also indicate if there are any food allergies or other health concerns that the instructors should know about.
Thanks, Kristina!
