Cathy
McLaurin was the Club's special guest for the Thursday
luncheon.
She described
the programs at the Essex Art Center.
The Center is
a non-profit organization providing a variety of arts
classes for youth and adults in the Merrimack Valley.
The variety
includes day and evening classes in three different
sessions throughout the year, ranging from art history
through drawing, painting, clay, and media.
They also have
a gallery and host an interesting series of events
throughout the year as fun(d) raising ventures.
This year the
center served over 1,000 people, which included some
400 in a youth summer program.
It is for the
youth program that the Club awarded the Center a
$1,600 grant this Thursday.
