Words of praise for magician Chris’ magic boot camp: “It was incredibly fun”, in our child’s words. Arielle eagerly showcased her daily newly-learned tricks. She couldn’t wait to find out what new trucks Chris would teach each day. It’s the most fun camp she’s ever had. Thank you for offering his class!!!

It's like magic to our kids. HCA has provided opportunities for fun, self-expression, learning, making new friends and keeping the old.
Jen Lentz
I love coming to this art class. It has been a place where I can relax and take my mind off everything going on in my busy life. I have learned so much since September. I have grown and become more confident in my work. The HCA is truly a beautiful peaceful space. Thank you.
Shari Daly
I am so glad I found HCA! I love it here because it is about creating quality work.
Anika Gupta, age 10
I didn't have any artistic confidence, and was considering abandoning art. Now, after studying and volunteering for over a year, I am enrolled and preparing for art school. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for this place, and to Kris and Sarah for being so supportive.
