Children's Museum of the Sierra Announces Summer Classes
(PRWEB) July 12, 2013 -- The Children’s Museum of the Sierra announced a new addition to their summer offerings: pair of art classes that will start at the facility July 16 thanks to their continued partnership with the Madera County Arts Council.
Every Tuesday through August 13, 3D artist Adam Mena will lead kids on an exploration of both clay and found object media based sculpture. Wednesday’s classes will delve in to numerous two-dimensional art projects with Elaine Blake of Madera.
The classes are a continuation of courses offered last year through the museum’s partnership with the Madera County Arts Council. Art and photography classes attracted a lot of interest, and the museum leadership wanted to continue that this summer.
“Last year's programs were funded as part of a grant that was not available to us this year. We pursued a different funding approach and where rewarded with generous sponsorship from two local service organizations: the Oakhurst Sierra Sunrise Rotary and the Soroptimist International of the Sierras,” said Steve Montalto, Director of the Children’s Museum of the Sierra.
“Offering these classes would not have been possible without their support,” he said.
There will be two classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The first session is from 10:00 to 11:30, the second is from noon to 1:30 pm. Cost for participation in these classes is free with museum membership or $6 admission.
Class sizes are limited, so parents are asked to call the museum to register their kids. The museum can be reached at 669-658-5656.
