Registration is now open for programs beginning June 1. The Summer Camps offer a diverse lineup of creative experiences, including sewing, dramatic expression, technology, gardening, and fashion. Designed for youth ages 0–16, the series also features a “Mommy and Me” art-making workshop for younger participants and caregivers. “While we continue fundraising efforts to bring the PB Arts Center to life, we are excited to activate the PB Arts Commons with engaging arts programming for the community,” said Michelle Sexton, Vice Chair of the PB Arts Center. “Our vision of a shared space that connects artists, students, and residents will begin to take shape this summer.” Advance registration is encouraged: https://www.pbartscenter.org/summer-camps/ Community partners for the series include Creative Cornucopia, Clickbitz, and The Music Company. The PB Arts Commons is now open for community-centered programming ahead of full site development, offering a preview of what’s to come.
