New studios will allow the Peninsula School of Art in Fish Creek to proceed safely with artist workshops during 2021. The school had been raising money for a major expansion over the past two years. School officials decided to do a partial expansion over the winter during the COVID-19 pandemic. Executive Director Cathy Hoke says the new studios are complete and will allow for a limited number of artists to work safely.
Hoke says despite the larger spaces COVID-19 protocols will still be observed.
The Peninsula School of Art will still host the annual Plein Air Arts Festival July 25-31. Details on how to hold the event are still being worked out.
A trial run of how to hold artists workshops at the Peninsula Art School will take place on February 6th. That when the first “Try It” series of the season will offer an introduction to watercolors.
