Outreach program, Art Energy, offers classes

Northwest Area Arts Council is offering workshops in its continuing Community Outreach Program, "Art Energy."

It features introductory art workshops by independent art teachers from the McHenry County area. Cost is $17.50 per session (two sessions per workshop) including all art materials. This affordable price is possible because of the generosity of these highly qualified instructors and grants from the McHenry County Community and Walmart Foundations.

Contact each teacher via e-mail or phone to sign up for a workshop.
