art, whether you are a genius or a beginner. The best way is to take an
inspiring class with a skilled and fun teacher.A number of Somerville
artists teach at the Brookline Arts Center, because it is a fun and
friendly community center for affordable art classes for kids and
adults. It's only steps from the T's green line (St. Mary's stop on the
C, Fenway stop on the D.), the #47 and CT#2 buses, and a quick hop by
bike across the BU bridge.These Somerville artists will start new
classes there within the next two weeks. Find out more on the web at:
