SENIOR ACADEMY CLUBS
Art Club/Open Studio
Art club is evolving into open studio! This means students who are part of the organization may come to use the space and certain materials during lunch. Students who are interested in this opportunity must attend one of the first two open studio days to attend throughout the year. This is not for people to just come to the art room to eat or invite friends. This is for creative minds to gather and make art! There may be some opportunities for specific activities including Inspire volunteer and art as an act of kindness.
