Evanston studio will provide free classes for youth and seniors

The grand opening of the Flavor of Art Studio, 3564 Montgomery Road, will be held Thursday June 21 at 5:30 p.m.  This studio offers a broad range of classes in the visual arts for students 12 through 18 years old, and for senior adults.  Professional artists and experienced teachers will conduct the classes beginning June 25.  Information on summer classes is available from Ms. Anzora Adkins at 731 ARTS (731-2787). 

The idea for the studio originated with Leadership Cincinnati Class XXX, and it became a reality with sponsorship of the Evanston community Council in partnership with the Cincinnati Police Department and Xavier University.  Generous financial support from Carl H. Lindner, Jr., Skyler Foundation and Huntington Bank makes it possible for the studio to offer free classes to residents of Evanston and surrounding neighborhoods. 

The Evanston Community Council worked with Cincinnati Development Corporation for the total renovation of the building for the neighborhood art studio.  Partners in the project hope that it will help teens to discover the life-changing power of making art, and that the program and its new building symbolize revitalization of the community.
