Joan Kroc dreamed of a place where people could explore, learn, and find ways to enrich their lives -- including visual and performing arts. At the Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center, we offer a variety of Creative Arts classes to help you learn new skills and discover new ways to explore your creativity.

Creative Arts activities are designed for all ages, and our professional staff is here to help you discover your unique talents and gifts.

• Classes in drama, music, and various styles of dance for all ages are offered throughout the year.
• Visual arts classes include pottery, drawing, acrylic painting, watercolor, collage, china painting and jewelry making.
• All of our instructors are experienced professionals in their respective fields.
• Our Education Center includes 8 classrooms and features a Dance Studio, Art Room, and Pottery Studio.

Pablo Picasso once said, “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”  We invite you to experience the Creative Arts classes at the Kroc Center. It might be the first step toward making your life even brighter.
