Wynne Home Summer Art Classes begin July 19th!

The Wynne Home Summer Art Classes
Session 1 Tuesday, July 19th - 23rd
Session 2 Tuesday, July 26th 30th

1428 Eleventh Street
Huntsville, TX 77340
936-291-5424 

Registration has begun for The Wynne Home’s Summer Art Classes! Classes have limited seating so if there is a class that you are interested in it is best to register as soon as possible.
I found a brochure with a description of the classes while paying my water bill. I looked for a copy of this brochure or another source for this information, but the only thing that I was able to find was THIS Save the Date flier on the Official Website.

I scanned the flier and saved it as four different jpg. pictures in order to share the information. Unfortunately, it is slightly blurry from the whole scanning process, but it is still readable. You can email wintern@huntsvilletx.gov for more information:




There are several classes available. Hopefully each one will have enough participants so that none of them are canceled. Again, sorry about the blurriness of the uploaded flier!
