Preview upcoming workshops & classes at ARTworks~ free! 
ARTsplash is a free preview of the workshops and classes, as well as the afterschool program, that will be offered this fall at ARTworks. Held on August 14th from 6:30 to 9pm, ARTsplash is designed for people who, for example, are not quite sure about a particular artform (pastels, maybe), or for people who've never toured ARTworks (hint: once you're in the front doors, keep walking, it's a looooong building), or for people who've never talked to a real live artist (no, they won't accidently smear paint on you- usually), or for people who aren't really comfortable with paying for a class before sniffing the cork, or for all the regulars who just want to say hi— and ARTsplash is also for the kids who perhaps need to be coaxed into a new art experience ("hey look at all those colors you'll get to play with!")
…Or maybe the youngsters are so ready for art that they just don't want to wait for ARTworks AFTERschool to begin on August 24th. These classes are for kids 6-16, one day a week, $45 per seven week session. Family discounts are available, as are limited scholarships. To register, Contact 843-379-2787 and www.beaufortcountyarts.com, or stop in at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street in Beaufort.
