Hill Center is pleased to host the Eastern Market Art Series & Trainings – EAST – an ongoing series that brings artists and children (between 6 and 10 years old) together to explore a different craft or medium each month.
EAST has hosted workshops on improv, design, dance, comic books, Claymation, and more. Check this page regularly and/or EAST’s Instagram page for updates and scheduled workshops.
EAST programs are hosted at Hill Center in the Old Naval Hospital every month, usually on the first Sunday from September through May!
Each workshop also has volunteer opportunities for youth & teens (11 years old and up) to help support the workshop. Please contact hillcentereast@gmail.com for more information.
