It's that time of year when lights twinkle, magic and cheer are in the air, and snow begins to fall. When everyone starts thinking about those they love, they begin their gift-shopping extravaganza! During this time, make sure you stop into DAC to shop in our new Gift Gallery!    The Gift Gallery will also be open during Downtown Durango's Annual Noel Night, where a hot chocolate bar for both adults and kids will be ready to warm you up as you shop from our local artists!

Kids 10+ with an adult*    *This can be parent/child, aunt or uncle/niece or nephew, etc. The idea is that we are better when we letter together!   In each session, we will letter together, then work on projects that you will remember for a lifetime.   You will also receive access to accompanying videos so that the learning can continue. You will also leave each session with handouts, mark making tools you get to keep, and an exemplar of your own to build from.   $125 per person, class size limited to 6. Email for availability.
