Looking for summer plans? Arts for Learning is launching its new Lewis Arts Studio Performing Arts Summer Program at the Sanctuary of the Arts at St. Mary’s at 136 Frow Avenue in the West Grove. Students will develop skills in performance, storytelling and choreography through structured activities and imaginative play, followed by a closing performance for family and friends. The program takes place from June 9 to 27 for students entering grades 4 and 5 and June 30 to July 25 for students grades 6 to 8. Program hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.
Enrollment is free and based on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is limited to 25 students per program, and there is still space available for both age groups. The deadline to register is Sunday May 25. Spots are not guaranteed upon registration, and participants will receive confirmation by June 4. The program is open to all students, and preference may be given to those in the Coconut Grove area.
