Thank you to the Crystal Lake Lions Club for their generous donation of $960 towards student art scholarships. Two students with demonstrated financial need will each be able to take afterschool art classes at Creative Arts studio for one year due to this donation. Creative Arts nonprofit studio in Crystal Lake offers a variety of in-person and online classes in drawing, painting, sewing, sculpting and digital art for ages 4 to adult.

Creative Arts studio has faced unique challenges this year, like so many other small nonprofit organizations, and is grateful for this donation supporting students to pursue their love of art, who would not otherwise be able to afford to attend art classes.
