This is an explosion of Free Classes with all of our best Instructors!! Here is how it works. Scroll down to see our amazing line-up of classes.
Pre-registration is required for these free classes. All materials are provided by the instructor unless otherwise listed on the sign-up sheet. The class size limited to 15 students, ages 10 through 18. In order to register for the classes you just need to come into Loon Country Arts to sign up today or call 218-444-9813.
Students may sign up for two (2) classes only but can add their names to the "alternate list" in case there is an opening in that class. We want to make sure there is an equal opportunity for all to participate. You will be called if there is an opening in one of the classes.
“This Activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota, through an Artists Engage Community Grant from the Region 2 Arts Council, thanks to a Legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.”
