Pets are part of the family! In our upcoming Arts Uncorked class, students will be able to paint their pet in silhouette form. Customize your painting with different backgrounds and your favorite colors. From these pictures you can see every Arts Uncorked class is unique but what makes it different than other painting classes? You can customize the majority of our paintings. If you don’t like certain colors, change them! Go rogue! Arts Uncorked at the Academy also means you can bring in your own food and beverages. You don’t have to pay higher prices at restaurants when you can just bring your favorite things with you. Have a group of 8 or more? We love private parties! With 8 students up to 20 you can book a date especially for you as well as pick your choice of painting. These make great birthday parties as well as bachelorette parties or just a get together with your closest friends.

They were able to share the show with a group of campers from the Jubilee Family Development Center who saw the final dress rehearsal free of charge. “When the Jubilee kids came out of the theatre and saw everyone still in costume their faces lit up and they couldn’t wait to take pictures with the cast.” Director […]
