“It’s cold outside but it’s warming up at the Villages Folk School”

 

     Too cold to play outside? Not a problem when you can register for one of our folk school classes and experience the thrill of living the arts in the warmth of our classrooms. We invite you to check out our calendar of classes on the website at www.villagesfolkschool.com. If you need assistance just call our office at 319-592-3700 for information on classes and registration.

     2011 also features our first annual writer’s conference; The Villages Folk School Writer’s Conference 2011. This event being held on September 23, 24, & 25 will not only feature New York Times Best Selling Authors but literary agents, publishers and many other experts in the field of writing from around the country. We encourage you to get your registration in early because this event will have limited seating and we expect it to fill up quickly. Contact us at the folk school office for more information. Our phone number is 319-592-3700 or you may go to our website at www.villagesfolkschool.com and check out our class descriptions, artist bios and more.
