In collaboration with Porter County Aging and Community Services and with funding from Porter Health, Taltree will offer a very special monthly art program. On the third Tuesday of each month through October, instructors from South Shore Arts will conduct art classes based on artists and their art styles throughout history. Participants will leave each session with an 11” x 14” work on paper and a new understanding of the featured artist. Classes will be held in Taltree’s Meyer Memorial Pavilion but will be moved indoors if the weather is bad. South Shore Arts will provide art supplies necessary to complete the project during class. The program is free for those aged 50 and better. For information and reservations, call (219) 462-0025.
