About Art at Ace Makerspace

Art is a new program at Ace this year. Previously we had folded all our artistic programming into other amazing programs like laser and metal. During the pandemic, we started workshops and other programing have really brought a lot to the community. So we took the leap and have begun programming really fun workshops and exploring more art programing at Ace.
