The performance space upgrade at the Sand Lake Center for the Arts is on! This construction will have us move our summer youth programs to the Church of the Covenant in Averill Park. Many of you may know it as “the round church” across from Jiffy Mart. We appreciate COC for opening their doors and allowing us to “summer” at the church. Please call SLCA at 674-2007 if you have any questions.
