Carnegie Hall Offers Classes

In a press release dated October 5th, Carnegie Hall announced it is offering Tuesday afternoon classes aimed at providing hands-on arts and sciences educational opportunities for homeschool and virtual school students. Carnegie Hall is a nonprofit organization supported by individual contributions, grants, and fundraising efforts such as TOOT and its annual gala. The Hall is located at 611 Church Street, Lewisburg, WV.

Classes take place at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday, October 19th & 26th and  November 2nd, 9th, and 16th, from 1:00-2:30 p.m. There are still a few openings for the older group – students 10 to 14 years of age.

The older group’s five-class, STEAM oriented series begins with Can You Dig It? An intro to Archaeology, and continues each Tuesday with Macramé, Build DaVinci’s Machines: The Ballista Crossbow, Enter the Cosmodome: An Introduction to the Universe, and Clay Whistles.

Homeschool teaching artists include Susan Adkins, Dave Buhrman, Lynn Creamer, Amie Durrman, Harmony Flora, Sharon Ginsburg, Teri Hartford, Sean O’Connell, Jennifer Orr, and Kathy Talley.
