Once again we're launching full tilt into summer with big plans! We will have two artists-in-residence this summer, both students from University College Cork. Helen Gubbins and Dierdre Harnedy will be in Columbia for July and August teaching music and performing locally. We're very glad to have them!
Kids day camp and Teen Workshops will be held at Unity Center of Columbia, on W. Broadway across from the Gerbes shopping center.
