The Grassroots Art Project will hold art classes to benefit Lennie’s Fund and the Humane Society Saturdays from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m.

There is no fee for the class and all materials will be provided. Beginners are encouraged to attend and professionals are welcome.

“Learn,” as Picasso said, “to paint like a child again.”

With the permission of the artist, artwork created in the class may be sold to benefit Lennie’s Special Cases. All are welcome for coffee, conversation and creativity.

The classes will be held at the Congregational Church Annex, located at 210 Melrose Avenue in Tryon. Call 828-899-0673 for more information.
