Week of Workshops!
Art Education for All
From August 8 to August 16, we offered free online art classes dedicated to Create Now, an organization that brings art to underserved children. We wanted to help bring art education to kids who are currently quarantined in North Carolina. Qualified UUA members taught art skills in their field of study.
​
We have received great feedback and demand from parents! Thank you for being a part of our event and helping us promote arts education. We look forward to future community NCUUA events!
Take a look at the classes and see what fun we had!
