The sessions will be Saturday, Oct. 12, from 1-3 p.m.; Tuesday, Nov. 19, from 6:30-8:30 p.m.; and Saturday, Jan. 11, from 1-3 p.m. Registration or RSVP is not necessary. Perpich is at 6125 Olson Memorial Parkway in Golden Valley, just west of the Hwys. 55 and 100 interchange.
Seven arts areas are available: artscience, dance, literary arts, media arts, music, theater and visual arts.
