FALL ART ACTIVITIES FOR ADULTS

Center for Community Arts (CCA), in partnership with the Nature Center of Cape May, announces a wide range of art classes for adults beginning October. Three-week classes begin the second week of October and again the first week of November, and there are several one-day workshops as well. Classes meet week days and weekends, mornings, afternoons and evenings, so there is an opportunity for artistic expression to fit anyone’s busy schedule. Most sessions meet at the Nature Center of Cape May, 1600 Delaware Avenue. Fees are on a sliding scale, with discounts for CCA members, seniors and others on fixed incomes. Advance registration is required; for a detailed brochure and registration form, call CCA at 884-7525 or email info@centerforcommunityarts.org.
