Stay tuned for our latest and greatest partnership: after school art classes for kids at the Verdugo Hills YMCA.  We're ironing out the details now.  Expect to see classes starting in March taught by our very own Monica Hicks.  These kinds of partnerships are great.  It allows McGroarty to reach more students, without building additional classrooms.  It allows the YMCA to offer more opportunities to its members, without reinventing the art education wheel.  We're excited.  Only one small catch: you'll have to be a YMCA member to join.
