Online Art Classes & Exhibitions
in Ocean City
The Ocean City Art League has made a change to how art will be exhibited and the classes they offer.
While classes to learn things like drawing, painting, and spoken word poetry are currently being taught through the Art League, they are not being taught AT the Art League.
Classes have gone on-line and for those that miss Ocean City this is a way to connect with the area through a local organization. For those that are finding themselves getting a bit stir crazy, they can do something with the extra time. Arts are a great way to help work through emotions so this is great escape for those that need it too.
Classes for Kids:
Classes for Kids started Friday, April 10th with an initial free class. Classes are offered through Zoom. May 1st is the next class. The subject will be tin foil sculptures taught by Lindsey Winters. The class is limited to 12 students. Cost is $15 for members and $19 for non-members. Ages 7 and up.
