Youth Art Workshops
WACKY started in December 2016 and provides art opportunities to children ages 6 to 12. The program ran through March 2020. We re-launched the program in 2022 to be held on the third Wednesday of every month, 6 to 8 p.m. These workshops are art lessons taught by an instructor with a degree in fine arts and art education. Each session stretches a child’s creativity and allows them the freedom to express themselves. The fee is $25 per workshop and covers all materials and instruction. Classes are held at Otterbein’s The Point, 60 Collegeview Road, Westerville.
