Join Bay Area artists Rob Liu-Trujillo, Avy Jetter, and Fred Noland for a creative celebration of Black art and Black history. We will begin with an artists' panel, where each of these artists will share about their professional artwork and process, and show a brief demonstration. This will be followed by an art activity where kids (K-8), teens and adults can learn from these artists and express their own creativity!
Join Ballet & Books!
Each week, your child will participate in the following: in-person dance class and mentoring session held in the community room on Saturdays from 10am-12pm. These free sessions are tailored for children ages 6-9 and are led by UC Berkeley students. Dance will be a 50-minute session immediately followed by a break and a 50-minute 1:1 mentoring session. Thus, the entire program will last 2 hours.
