‘After-School Art-Ventures’ follows the Ludington Elementary school calendar. Art-Ventures will not hold a program on scheduled half-days, no-school days, or unscheduled snow days. If an instructor is ill and cannot teach, Art-Ventures will still hold a program, but a different project may be taught.
Parents and guardians must fill out a consent form for each student before starting the program. The consent form can be found at ludingtonartscenter.org or LACA during business hours on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. LACA is located in downtown Ludington at 107 S.
