A second four-week session in April will feature a new lineup of local artists and activities.

Those dates have not yet been determined.

An exhibition showcasing the students’ work will be held during the 32nd Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts from May 23-25 at Vern Burton Community Center, 308 E. Fourth St.

A private opening for students, families, artists and program partners will take place May 22.
