It's time for kids to have fun writing!

Sign up for something different this fall, and enroll in a club-based creative writing program at Village Center for the Arts.

Creative writing uses words to draw a picture.

Join Brittney Richardson , the founder of Muse Squad , as she launches her fall class at Village Center for the Arts . Explore Wonderland with Alice, make new friends, and grow as a writer. The program is open to children of all levels and abilities of reading and writing. It’s a safe space for kids to express themselves. “ Miss Brittney's ” after-school class for ages 8 - 11 will be offered on Fridays, September 22 - December 8, from 4:00 - 5:30 PM.
