Thanks for Joining Our “Faces of Chinatown” Class!

Thanks to everyone who came out to join our first community-wide art class: “Acrylic Portrait Painting: Faces of Chinatown.” Taught by Sharon Ardito, thirteen participants rolled up their sleeves and spent three hours painting colorful portraits of their neighbors. The participants ranged from 13 to 88 years old. Some had never painted before, but everyone did their best and had a great time.

Thanks for stopping by and we hope you join us at our upcoming Saturday art events!
