Celebrating National Art and Humanities Month
In 1993, Americans for the Arts expanded National Arts Week into a month-long celebration of the arts (taking place in October) and titled it National Arts and Humanities Month.
To celebrate this, LOLA Arts will be illuminating the magic of art through classes, exhibits, performances, and workshops. Take a look below to see some of the ARTober Magic program offerings.
