On Fridays\, we offer four youth art classes. Many of the students are engaged in learning ceramics\, drawing\, and painting.  Two days a week\, the Center hosts ceramic arts with the Alternative Education School. Mellica McIntire\, the Josephy Center's lead instructor states that the "the art program has grown from a few students taking art to a full weeks schedule of classes for kids and teens. Each student gets hands on attention and help and they are seeing the importance of creating things as a way of expression while learning. We recently introduced the pottery wheel\, and hope to see more youth involved at the Center through art and ceramics."  \n\n \n\nThe Youth Art Program will have artwork on display from December 15 to 18 in the main gallery with the Gift of Art. Please come in and take a look at what's being created. The next session of Friday classes will begin on January 8. Sign up for classes online at www.josephy.org/classes.
