Class Spotlight: VIVA! Family Memories

As I was looking over the class offerings at Flower City Arts Center this upcoming fall, two unique classes caught my eye. As someone who treasures the time I spend with my family, I often complain that we do not preserve our photos properly. There is a box in my basement full of photos that are going to waste. That is why the classes, VIVA! Scanning Family Photos, and VIVA! Family Album stuck out to me as such fun and important classes.

Let me back up for a minute, you may be asking yourself what is with VIVA! in front of everything? Well, VIVA stands for Vitality in the Visual Arts and it is a series of classes created for participants 55+ who are interested in exploring art. Participants will get an overview of different subject matter a chance to work in the studio with professional artists.

Now, lets jump into the classes themselves!

The best way to make sure that family photos last forever is to keep them digitally.
