Rhinelander School of the Arts

RHINELANDER - Looking to indulge your mind or expand your creativeness this summer?

For the past 47 years the School of the Arts program here in Rhinelander has been held at James Williams Middle School, but due to renovations at the school this year, the week long event will have a new host, Crescent Elementary School.

Beth Bloom, Facilities Manager for the program, says more than 200 people attend, some coming from all over the nation.

According to Bloom, just about any kind of art class you can think of will be offered. "Writing, art work, water color, acrylics, tai chi, mind, body, and spirit courses, chair caning, beading, quilting, to performing arts, acting."

She says with such a wide range of classes there's something out there for everybody, and if you're on the fence about learning something new there's no better time. "If you never thought that you had that ability or even had just a little inkling and thought, 'Gosh, I really want to try that! Oh, but I don't know if I should.' This is the perfect opportunity to do it."

The week long event starts on Monday, July 24th.
