High School & Adult Classes

In response to Gov. Mike DeWine's orders closing all K-12 schools and prohibiting mass gatherings due to Coronavirus, we have decided to take important steps in order to help protect our most vulnerable populations.

Both the Reese-Peters House and the Wendel Center for Art Education will close until it is safe to reopen. All scheduled classes, lectures and workshops will be postponed until a later date, yet to be determined.

As the situation develops further, we will continue to update you via our social channels, website and email.

We apologize for the inconvenience and we appreciate your understanding as we navigate this difficult situation.
Stay healthy and stay positive!
