Youth Art Classes

Hi! The Lyndon House Arts Center Art Education Department offers a wide variety of youth art classes focusing on various materials and techniques inspired by working practicing artists. Fall & Winter of 2020, we are holding all our classes virtually.

Art Time Box is a 6 week program "take-away" with 6 projects to do at home and all the tools and materials you need.

Live on-line art instruction with teaching artist Toni Carlucci begins on October with Kids Weaving & an Art Tool Box to accompany the weekly lesson held on WebEx.

For more information and to register, please see the menu on the left or call 706 613 3623.

6 weeks, meeting once weekly, live instruction via webcam!

Backstrap weaving, an enduring form of weaving has been practiced in countries such as Peru, Guatemala, Japan and Mexico. In Guatemala, children learn to weave around age 7. Students in this class will receive their very own, simplified backstrap loom along with a handcrafted, wooden shuttle. Students will also weave with beads! With fun, brightly colored, shiny beads, students will design and weave armbands or bracelets and a necklace with their initials.
Includes Art Box with tools/supplies. All supplies included!
Parents/Guardians must pick up tool/supply box from the Arts Center during the week before the virtual class starts: Tuesday through Saturday 10 AM-5:30 PM October 8-15, 2020.

Please note: This program is subject to change, cancellation based on CDC and Georgia Governor guidelines as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUMMER ART CAMP INFORMATION

June 5,2020

After careful consideration, the Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Department announces the cancellation of all summer camps scheduled for the month of July. The Department cancelled all June camps earlier in the spring.

Due to the recent CDC and Governor Kemp’s guidelines, Leisure Services Department determined that summer camps would not be able to take place while adhering to these important requirements. Following the necessary requirements would significantly reduce the number of campers and hinder a quality camp experience. The health and well-being of campers, staff, and the overall community was paramount in this decision.

All those who registered will receive a 100% refund. Due to the high volume of registrations, please allow 6-8 weeks to process refunds. All refunds will be in the form of a check mailed to the address on file in the online registration system. Parents should login to their accounts at www.accgov.com/leisure and make sure their address is current.

Parks are available for self-directed use and a complete list is available at www.accgov.com/leisure . The Department will continue to offer a selection of virtual programs including arts, recreation, sports, and others. These programs are available online at www.accgov.com/leisure .

The Department currently plans to open pools and splash pads on Friday, July 3, 2020. This date has been identified with anticipation that COVID-19 conditions continue to improve.
