Hello everyone! As part of our next “Teacher Feature,” I want to highlight another one of the amazing art instructors who will be teaching classes for Summer Arts Camps: Emma Case Melville! You may remember her simply as Emma Case; well, she got married recently. Congratulations to Emma and her husband! Emma has been active in NCLAC and the surrounding community for over a year now: as an student of studio arts at Louisiana Tech University, as an assistant who helped organize SAC 2012, and then as a celebrated artist in Holiday Arts Tour 2012 (her ceramic art was featured at Rosemary's Kitchen in Ruston). We are excited to have her as an instructor for Summer Arts Camps this year!

This summer, Emma will be teaching two classes on 2D/3D art: one in Farmerville on 6/15 and the other in Arcadia on 6/29. If you want your child to take a class with Emma, call NCLAC's offices at (318) 255-1450 between 10-2 on Monday-Thursday in order to speak to someone who can help you enroll. Emma's classes in Farmerville and Arcadia will be one-day “Super Saturday” classes, so tuition is only $25 (or $20, if you register and pay at least 10 days before the camp).

Be sure to keep an eye on the blog for updates about each camp! Each location will offer at least two different kinds of art workshops (including 2D, 3D, and dramatic arts).

Just a reminder: students who are entering grades 2-7 are eligible to participate in Summer Arts Camps. Emma will be teaching two “Super Saturday” classes, but there are weeklong camps happening as well. For weeklong camps, tuition is $60 if you register and pay before May 1 (the tuition includes art supplies and a snack). Those interested may register by phone at 255-1450, or by downloading a registration form from our blog @ nclac.wordpress.com, or site @ nclarts.org. Forms and checks should be mailed to NCLAC, PO Box 911 Ruston, LA 71273
