Adler Arts Center Announces Virtual Summer Programming

Register today for art & music classes designed to get kids and teens active, creative, and in community with their peers this summer.

The Adler Arts Center is pleased to announce new, virtual, summer programming for children, teens, and adults.

The Adler Center’s virtual programming is designed to inspire creativity and provide unique ways for community members to connect this summer.

“We developed our alternative summer programming following a series of conversations with our current students, faculty and artists,” explains Molly Bunder, Program Coordinator. “We felt it was important to find a way for us all to be creatively connected during this time of social distancing and we are so grateful for the community support we have received.”
