This workshop offers an opportunity to explore different techniques and forms of art, such as brush painting, pen and ink, watercolor and drawing. All levels of experience and expertise are welcome. Participants will bring their own supplies and materials and will work independently. While class facilitators and participants can offer encouragement, ideas and suggestions to each other, this will NOT be an instructional class.

Coordinators:  Basilio King, Christopher Melby and Alfredo Rodriguez

Description:  This eight-week study group, presented on Zoom Tuesday and in the classroom Thursday, begins Tuesday, Sept. 17 and ends Thursday, Nov. 7. We will cover our usual wide range of subjects, ranging from documentaries to topical current events. You may also expect some screen time addressing the pithy subject of democracy and its alternatives, as we conclude our fall session the week of the general election. But we promise to avoid fake news.

Coordinators:  Mike and Marilyn Glass

The “migrant crisis” is a daily news topic and a contentious issue for the 2024 election. Although the United States is considered a nation of immigrants, immigration has been a divisive issue throughout our history. How and when did some immigrants become illegal? And, why don’t they just come legally? Over a three-week period, we will look at a brief history of immigration in the U.S. and what it takes to immigrate into this country.
