Wharton Center is about connecting people to engaging, creative opportunities that expand their hearts, minds, and world view. With that mission in mind, our virtual art classes here in Lansing provide unique, valuable experiences to keep art at the center of your day.
Classes will be available July 6 through August 14, for a variety of virtual art classes in Lansing taught by Wharton staff and teaching artists. With a one-time $35 registration fee, and classes for all interest levels, you will have the opportunity to learn from and create alongside these professionals, from the comfort of your own home.
Participants will need access to a video device (a laptop, tablet, or phone) and internet service.
