Join us for today's episode as special guest Laura Jennings, Executive Director of the LaGrange Art Museum, shares the art museum's role in our community. It is not only an outlet for artists to showcase their art but also an educational haven for children to learn and practice art. The art museum offers numerous classes focusing on all types of art, such as painting, cooking, and printmaking. These classes teach the practice of each craft, as well as critiquing skills and the history behind the art. Laura explains the importance art has for children and how crucial it is for children to express their creativity.
