Art Workshops Offered by Clayton Visual Arts

Clayton Visual Arts is sponsoring three art workshops, including one for children ages 9-12 this summer.

CVA President Larry Strevig said all of the workshops are inexpensive and open to anyone interested in learning more about art. All are taught by experienced local artists. Strevig said, “These art workshops are a part of CVA’s goal of bringing art to the people of Clayton. As a non-profit organization, CVA underwrites all of these workshops with grant monies in order to make them affordable.”

Registration deadline is April 17. Class sizes are limited to 12 students, so register early.
