Arts Umbrella Free one day WS........but only one space available
Hi Everyone,
Here's the following info from Arts Umbrella........Sian Osborne has indicated she's interested in attending.....let me know if there is anyone else interested and we'll figure out how we'll pick the class that will attend.
Phil
Arts Umbrella is once again offering free one day workshops for single classes at their South Surrey location throughout 2018-2019. These spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis. We are wondering if Chantrell Creek would have a class interested in attending. For now we would just ask you to book and hold a date and give us your best guess on grade level and teacher name. We will then confirm final details come September or October once your enrolment and class arrangements are final.
The theme of the program will be something related to creative new beginnings.
There is no cost to the program, however, the class must look after getting to Arts Umbrella on their own, no bussing or funding is provided for transportation. The address is Arts Umbrella, South Surrey, N116, 15850 26 Ave.
An overview of the program and its components and requirements is below as well as a list of dates. If Chantrell Creek is interested in booking a date, can you please let me know by Tuesday, August 27th, indicating your date of choice, ideal grade level and likely teacher?
Thanks so much!
Laura
