Louisville Visual Art Announces New Children’s Fine Art Class at Portland Community Center
Submitted by Grant Johnson
Louisville Visual Art, located in Portland at 1538 Lytle Street, is happy to announce a new Children’s Fine Art Class for Spring 2022 at the Molly Leonard
Portland Community Center (MLPCC). Since 1925, Children’s Fine Art Classes
(CFAC) have nurtured young artists to achieve academic and professional success.
Starting January 18, experienced LVA instructor Marty Edlin will lead the new
class on Tuesdays from 5pm-7pm in the MLPCC art room. The class runs for 10
weeks, and is offered at low cost (free/reduced lunch recipients may request a fee
waiver). The Portland Community Center has convenient parking and great folks.
Our hope is that the 5-7pm meeting time will work with many families’ evening
schedules. Another benefit of this particular offering is that Metro Parks will make
“Kid’s Cafe” meals available to qualifying participants prior to the start of class.
Students in 4th and 5th grade who have a recommendation from a professional educator, community leader, or artist familiar with their maturity and visual
talent are eligible to register. Recommendations help ensure that all participants
are motivated and able to work at a high level. Recommenders can visit: https://
www.louisvillevisualart.org/recommend-students to nominate a student. Those interested may also contact LVA Education Director, Annette Cable, at: annette@
louisvillevisualart.org for help or more information. LVA notifies newly recommended students’ families that their student is eligible to register for a class, but a
recommendation does not require them to participate.
