Homeschool Art and Music Fall 2024

LOLA Arts is excited to once again offer art and music classes for homeschooled students. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we’re able to keep these classes affordable. Our goal is to make these opportunities accessible to everyone. If you need additional financial assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us by phone at (715) 547-3950 or via email at lolaartswi.com@gmail.com.

New this year, our music portion will include some basic drama games. Additionally, private weekly drum lessons will be available (for an extra fee of $15 for a 30-minute lesson, payable to the instructor.) Available lesson times are 9 am, 11 am, 11:30 am and 12 pm. If you are interested in signing your child up for drum lessons, please get in touch with the instructor – Alyssa Isme at aimse4@yahoo.com

We will again have two “lounge” areas with complimentary coffee and tea set up with Wi-Fi access for you to use while your child/ren are taking classes.  One will have tables and chairs and the other comfy leather sofas. A heads up – you will be hearing musical instruments and drumming, while in the lounge areas!
