Get creative this spring with Herron
Offered on Saturdays in April, our spring workshops are targeted to a wide variety of ages, with endless opportunities to explore new mediums, no matter the level of experience.
COVID-19-related safety protocols
Herron's Community Learning Programs is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its participants, instructors and staff. This spring, we are providing a hybrid mix of virtual and in-person classes under the guidance of Indiana University and the City and State. In addition to the use of face masks inside the building at all times and physical distancing measures, participants of the in-person classes are required to complete a COVID-19 risk assumption and liability release form.
