The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District has partnered with Nevada Community Prevention Coalition (NCPC) to present “Managing New Seasons”.  Managing New Seasons is a grant funded senior wellness education program.  The program is free and open to the community outlying areas.

There are 9 classes that will be offered once a month (the 3rd Thursday of each month at 10:30 a.m.) at the Mesquite Library Branch.

The first class is scheduled today, Thursday, September 17 at 10:30 a.m.

Does your child like to draw and paint?  Kids 12 to 16 are invited to take free art lessons at the Mesquite Fine Arts Center starting September 19.   These art classes are intended to help kids move beyond their early childhood skills.

“Get Smart with Art” is a 9-month program that introduces children to basic art skills through creative projects. Kids will work on learning to draw animals, make a collage, learn digital photography and work with polymer clay.  They will be able to try their hand at fantasy art, watercolor painting, and acrylic painting over the course of the program.

VVAA offers these free classes as an educational and recreational opportunity for families of the community.  The VVAA artists are able to offer free lessons through their own fundraising efforts and support from Nevada Arts Council and the NEA Art Works.

For more information contact the Virgin Valley Artists Association at 702-346-1338.

The Mesquite Arts Council is bringing Waylon Jennings Tribute artist Bob Murray to Virgin Valley High School Auditorium Saturday, September 19 at 7 pm.

Jim Boatright local singer song writer will be the opening act. Come ready to hear Country as it is supposed to be. Blair Adams Mesquite Arts President will be hosting.

Whatever activity they you are looking for, you can always find what’s happening right here in the community calendar every Thursday in print or everyday online at www.mesquitelocalnews.com/category/calendar.

Send all your activities to tphilswife@aol.com and please remember to put “community calendar” in the subject line so your event notice doesn’t get lost in cyber space.
