Our third adult winter popup was held on Friday, March 10, featuring Cardio Drumming with instructor Lu Cannon from Personal Pilates & Fitness. Everyone enjoyed a heart-pumping workout while unleashing their inner child. Following the fitness class, participants were treated to an afterglow with refreshments and an opportunity to browse the newest art exhibit in the gallery. Thanks to everyone who joined us for an evening of art and fitness!
Our monthly A.C.E. workshops continued on Sunday, March 12, with an adaptive Leprechaun Trap making workshop in celebration of St. Patrick's Day! Children of all physical, developmental, and sensory processing abilities were invited to an hour of accessible arts and crafts. We had a great time helping the kids build their traps and color some activity pages. For more information about our A.C.E. program or to find out how to participate, contact us!
