The E.L. Cord Museum School welcomed the public to its first-ever Open House.
Instructors were on-hand to discuss upcoming classes while showcasing their own works through display and demonstrations. Many interested students of all ages had a chance to interact directly with faculty, ask questions, register for classes and participate in art projects.

The Museum waived the entrance fee for the evening and gave non-members who signed up for classes that night a 10% discount while members received an additional 10% off the membership price. The community response was very positive as was shown by the high attendance and eager participants.
