The ARTS at Marks Garage
This month we're elated to tell you that ARTS Corps is back! Thanks to our amazing volunteers and Partners, we've created a 2-month program we're offering FREE to students ages 13-18. EachThursdayfrom3:30-5:30 PM, students will get to learn about and participate in hands-on work with a variety of projects including publishing their own magazines that will be housed in the Hawaii Public Library! We're proud to offer this type of programming for our budding artists, so pleaseread moreand pass it along to your favorite teenagers!
We have lots of popular events coming up this month, including: Shakespeare, The Watercolor Society gallery show, burlesque and Pancakes and Booze. It may seem like a really strange mash-up... and we agree. And that's something we LOVE about The ARTS at Marks Garage! Just about every night of the week we're hosting a way for you to experience art, and the artist within yourself. We hope you'll add several of these to your calendar right away, so you don't miss out.
We know you value what we do, and we hope you'll consider supporting this work. If you are not already one of our donors, please become one today. You can easily sign up just once and let PayPal do the rest. Your recurring monthly donation assures that we continue to offer crazy-wonderful mash-ups in our beloved Chinatown!
