Event Description

May 16, 2013 Updated May 16, 2013 at 8:14 AM EDT

Arts Place, Inc. announces its 2013 Arts in the Parks schedule. Now in its 37th summer, the program provides workshops introducing young people to visual and performing arts experiences. Arts in the Parks provides youth arts activities in Adams, Blackford and Jay Counties in Indiana, and Auglaize and Mercer Counties in Ohio.

Class sites for 2012 will be located in Berne, Dunkirk, Geneva, Hartford City, Pennville, Portland, and Redkey in Indiana; and Celina, Coldwater, Fort Recovery, Minster, and St. Marys in Ohio. Last year over 498 students participated in Arts in the Parks classes.

Arts in the Parks now includes three types of offerings to better match the challenging schedules of parents on the go: Single Class Sessions, Family Time and Three-day Classes. The fees for participation are $5, regardless of class length and scholarships are available to any with financial need. Family time classes are $5 per project. Classes begin June 3rd and continue to July 20th. Students aged seven and older and who have completed the first grade by spring of 2012 may sign up on a first-come, first served basis. Parents are encouraged to volunteer to assist.

Artists from Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio will be serving as faculty for this year’s Arts in the Parks program. The 2012 faculty includes: Jacquelin Analco, Kathy Ayers, Sonja Brooks, Glenda “Kposivi” Clark, Jacquelyn Curtis, Anna Talei Fisher, Carol Knarr, Colleen Linehan, Peggy McCarty, Taryn Koontz and Peter Vogler.
