🎨 Expressions is back — and registration is OPEN!

After a great run of Expressions classes with Randy Wilhelm, we’re excited to bring him back for a six-week Acrylic Painting session!

Randy recently retired after 27 years of teaching art at Lake Pend Oreille High School, and his relaxed, encouraging approach makes Expressions a wonderful place for young artists to experiment, learn, and build confidence.

Over the six-week session, students will create 2–3 paintings while learning about:
🖌️ Brushwork
🎨 Paint choice
🧩 Composition
✨ And, most importantly, how to enjoy the creative process!

Thursdays | 3:30–5:30 PM
November 5–December 17
No class November 26 for Thanksgiving.

Space is limited to 10 students, so early registration is encouraged!

👉 Register now: artinsandpoint.org/expressions

Could you spare 1–2 hours a month to make a kid’s day? 🎨

POAC’s Kaleidoscope program is looking for a few more volunteer art teachers to bring creative projects into Bonner County classrooms!

We’re especially in need of 5th & 6th grade teachers. You don’t need to develop lessons, buy supplies, or figure it all out yourself—we provide the training, curriculum, and supplies!

All you need is a little time, a love of creativity, and a willingness to share it with some pretty awesome kids. ❤️

Once a month. 1–2 hours. A whole lot of smiles.

Interested? Contact Janelle Campasino at 509-979-9802.
