"Abstract Masterpieces," is a recurring 8-week session featuring super creative, inspiring, and conceptual weekly activities that culminate in an expressive wall-worthy abstract art piece.

Abstract art is an amazing way to get you thinking outside the crayon box and really channeling your inner artist!
