Back by popular demand, the Pottery Camp for Kids will be August 6th and 7th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Children from first grade through fifth will learn the basics of pottery and leave the class with their own work of art. The cost of the class is $40 and pre-registration is required. 

On August 14th from 6 – 8 p.m. the new exhibit “Keith Humphries: Stories of the Old West” will open in the Legacy Gallery. This exhibit brings the Old West to life through artwork and oral historical record of the late historian, Keith Humphries. Refreshments will be served at 6, and admission is free.

Set to open in late August is the Shalam Colony: Dream in the Desert.
