2026 Solstice Workshop Registration is live!
Celebrate the Winter Solstice with us by participating in our free workshops in the lead-up to the Solstice Walk on December 21st.
First workshops are announced below - more coming soon!
-
Workshops are offered to the public free of charge. Free arts programming is important to us - it’s a way to give back to the community that helps us create our season events. Spaces are limited in these workshops, and they usually have waitlists. We ask that you consider the following:
If you register for a workshop, make the commitment to attend - put the dates in your calendar and show up.
If you sign up and realize you can no longer attend, please email us to withdraw your registration so someone else on the waitlist can participate.
If you are able, consider a donation to River Clyde Arts to assist with the administration and material costs of these workshops. Your contributions help us ensure we can continue to offer high-quality, accessible arts programming to the community.
