April Artists-in-the-Schools Programs
Although the Artists-in-the-Schools program goes till May, April is usually the last big month as schools start winding down for the year. Because spring break was early this year, this is a busier April than usual. These events are open to the public and I invite you to attend as these artists are world reknowed. If you do attend, make sure you share your experience with us!
