Children interested in learning the art of oil painting are invited to attend the Ludington Area Center for the Arts’ Oil “Painting for Kids with Justin Gustafson” class taking place on Saturdays in April.

Beginning April 7 and continuing each Saturday through April 28 Gustafson will instruct children, ages 10 and up, oil painting techniques in LACA’s second story Craft Room from 1-2:30 p.m.

The cost for the four session class is $100 or $30 per session; all materials and supplies are included in the cost of the class. Children can attend all four sessions or register for individual ones. Gustafson will be teaching the class so newcomers will be able to keep up with those who have already attended previous classes. Oil painting can be messy, so students are encouraged to wear clothing that can get covered in paint.

Contact LACA at 231-845-2787 to register.
