maxthegirl

I'm writing to introduce the brand new organization Uproar Art! You can find us online at www.uproarart.org. We're an innovative, socially conscious, skill-based art education program for kids and teens, operating in Williamsburg. This spring, we're running four classes hosted at the studio of our friends at Spacecraft (355 Bedford ave. Brooklyn NY, www.spacecraftbrooklyn.com). We're kicking things off with a FREE Open House on two days: Sunday February 28th and Saturday March 6th from 1 - 3:30 pm. Drop in any time for free art making activities, free refreshments, class information and on site registration. Dress for messiness, and get ready to have fun! If you can't make it to the open house, you can still register at any time for our spring classes, starting March 8th. Email us for more information at [email protected] or give us a ring at 646 353 3207. This spring's classes include:
