Thanks to its 120 members and sponsors, Crow River Arts is kicking off its 23rd year as a promoter of the arts throughout the Crow River area.

Crow River Arts offers a variety of programs and educational opportunities for children and adults including collaboration with local schools to promote children’s art and theater productions.

With grants from the Southwest Arts and Humanities Council and help from a number of important sponsors, Crow River Arts is able to feature an artist at the annual Hutchinson Arts and Crafts Festival as well as support and sponsor the local vocal group, the Crow River Singers.

Classes are also a part of Crow River Arts’ offerings. The class schedule is available on the Crow River Arts Web site at www.crowriverarts.org. While visiting the Web site, look for information on the organization and local artists plus a calendar of events.
