This past January we had two great shows for the local schools in Knox County.  The first two weeks were focused on the work of the elementary students in our area while the last two weeks of January put the work of middle school and high school students on display. We are already in the works to make our shows for the schools even better next year! If you would like to see more images you can always to go to our flickr slideshow.

Check out our updated classes page today! We have two new sessions listed and our times are very flexible.  We hope to see you soon!
