Let's continue to create!
Because we can't offer face to face programming during these uncertain times, we want to be there for you to help you keep creating in the comfort of your home! We've done our research and compiled some of our favorite resources for art education and fun at home. We're particularly fond of the creative classes and free materials our local artists have made available.
Enjoy and please share your own ideas and finished projects with us on Facebook.com/longxarts, Instagram.com/longxart or email them to longxart@gmail.com.
Stay safe and healthy and we will see you soon.
