Calling all kids!

if you’re a kid, and you’re looking for a fun and totally awesome way to spend your summer, here’s your ticket. We are thrilled to announce White Bear center for the Arts (WBcA) will be moving all summer programs to our new campus in time for an amazing summer! And…. KIDS FIRST! (OH YeAH!) choose a bundle of classes, tell a bunch of friends (or make bunches of new ones here!), and plan on tons of creative, fantastic fun.

curious? Mark your calendars and pack your grown-ups up for the “Sneak Peek – Meet and Greet” on June 15th, 1:00-3:00. You’ll tour the spectacular new campus and meet some of WBcA’s fabulous and funky teaching artists, ready to share how much fun you’ll have this summer at the new art center. Your grown-ups are likely to find some great classes too (guaranteed to keep them out of trouble this summer), so they’ll be thanking you!

in addition to great teachers and new offerings such as clay camp, all Imagine Art classes will be held in spacious art studios where imaginations will soar. On top of that, creative outdoor areas will provide spots for collective fun and trying even more new things.

So, what will you get when you attend Imagine Art summer camp at the new White Bear center for the Arts? An AMAZING ART summer!

Hope 2 c u there! J
