Coming this October
|
To our Community-
October and Autumn have arrived, and the arts are thriving at Darlington Arts Center! Classes and lessons in Music, Art, Dance, and Drama are open, instilling passion and excitement for the arts for all of our students. Session 2 classes for kids and adults begin in Mid-November- make sure you
register by October 6th to take advantage of our 5% early enrollment discount!
October also marks the end of the barn's facelift! Thanks to the support of our community, renovations occurred over the summer, bringing a new roof, a fresh coat of paint, and new carpets to Darlington. We're a brand new building- please come visit and see the changes for yourself!
Darlington is also extremely excited to introduce a Creative Aging program for our older adults. Valiant Voices, our community choir, is still open to new members. We meet on Thursday afternoon beginning at 1pm. Tuition is free with membership! Additionally, Darlington is working with Concord Township to host a Senior Art Gallery in 2020. We invite our senior members to participate in the arts!
Later this month, Darlington's Coffee House Series begins! We invite our community to the first concert held on October 12 at 8pm featuring bluegrass duo Who, What, When, Why and Werewolves. Before the show, we are proud to open our October Art Gallery featuring the work of local artist Rinal Parikh. The fun begins at 6:30pm!
For our little ones, please be sure to come to our Preschool Halloween event on October 31 from 10am-12pm. Practice trick or treating participate in arts activities with our fabulous preschool teaching artists. RSVP here, or email Michael at [email protected]
Darlington offers a wealth of opportunities to engage in the arts. Private music lessons are available in every instrument Monday through Saturday. Afterschool classes in Music, Art, Dance, and Drama are available each day, with Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday providing offerings for arts classes until 6pm. Our academic year dance programs provides offerings in all levels in ballet, jazz, tap and hip hop. Preschool continues in the tradition of arts-based learning, with unique offerings in STEAM, Dance, Drama, Music, and Visual Art.

You are always welcome at Darlington - all have a shared environment to explore the arts together as a community. We are an active arts center that invites participation, a comfortable space to engage and create, and a home for all the arts. If you enjoy getting more involved, consider becoming a member of our committees, or join our Board of Directors. Please email me at: [email protected].
