THEY ’ RE BACK ! CLASSES RETURN TO
Art Center East
LA GRANDE — “Classes are an important part of Art Center East’s sustainability plan,” states a press
release from the art center. “They generate income for our teaching artists, help to fund ACE’s operational costs,
and spread the joy of art into our community. We are preparing our studios to be as safe as possible for in-person
classes, including ample space for social distancing, mask and sanitation requirements for all students and teach-
ers and providing acrylic dividers between work spaces. We are also in the process of building up our online class
offerings and will keep adding to the selection in the weeks ahead. We see online classes as an important part of
our programming for at least the next year, and we’ve had a lot of fun with the few we’ve already held. Consider
giving this new format a try!”
Register for online and in-person classes and events at www.artcentereast.org, or call 541-624-2800. If not
marked as virtual, the gathering will be held in-person at ACE, 1006 Penn Ave., La Grande. Stay in touch for
updates.
