With fall approaching fast the weather is getting cooler and many people will choose to stay inside with a warm blanket and their families. But, just because people choose to stay in more does not mean productivity has to slow down as well.

Graceful Arts Gallery and Studios, located in downtown Alva, puts on multiple workshops every month. They offer children and youth after school classes, adult classes, children make-n-take workshops, and youth to adult workshops. Beginning in October, Graceful Arts Gallery and Studios will present multiple community events such as:

Oct. 7- First Friday Art Walk

Oct. 8- Youth acrylics (6 week workshop)

Oct. 8- Octoberfest

Oct. 15- Fall Craft with April Decker

among others. If interested in any events or workshops Graceful Arts Gallery and Studios can be contacted at 580-327-2787, or visit their website www.gracefulartscenter.org.
