Arts Around Town: Family Fun Nights Focusing on the Arts
The Harley School and Hochstein School of Music & Dance invite your family to join their communities for hands-on explorations of the arts in a series of family fun nights during the 2014-15 school year. Each “Arts Around Town” evening focuses on one aspect of the arts: music, dance, performing and visual arts.
Expect to be entertained, have opportunities to creatively explore, and enjoy quality time together. Pizza, fruit and drinks will be available for purchase onsite.
These programs are FREE and open to the public. They are developed for families with children ages 3-10 in mind because they are early evening from 5:30-7pm, but they are open to all ages.
