Patriotic Painting Class
During this relaxed painting session, artist Jay Tracy will guide you step-by-step in the process of painting a patriotic flag. Be amazed at how the “same painting” takes on the unique and individual character of each artist.
Everyone, from seasoned painters to non-experienced, will finish the class with a beautiful acrylic masterpiece on canvas.
The class can hold up to 15 participants and is on August 23rd or 30th from 1-3 p.m.
Voice Acting Skills
Whether you have a quiet voice or a booming voice, anyone can learn to control the effectiveness and persuasiveness of their speech. Voice acting skills allow you to read more effectively, portray character voices, and even learn to narrate for videos or commercials.
There are two parts to this class, so please make sure you can attend both sessions before taking a spot. This particular class can take 25 participants.
Part 1 is on August 25th or 30th from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Part 2 is September 8th or 11th from 6-7:30 p.m.

Learn the history of the Golden Age of Radio and how this medium has influenced modern news and entertainment. Immerse yourself in the 1940s and 1950s time period as you listen to famous radio show clips, practice sound effects, and read from various original scripts.
