The HCA’s Early Release Arts Sampler Package
Fall 2024 Package Discount: $40 off automatically applied (cannot be combined with other discounts and promotions)

Our early release programs encourage creative expression. Our goals are to encourage life-long learning, develop and promote self-expression, and challenge students to develop their own ideas and ultimately communicate them through the arts.

The Friday Early School release program is a rotating Arts schedule that maximizes our students’ exposure to all the arts. The schedule is customized based on our most popular programming. Our goals are to provide opportunities to improve students’ awareness of all the arts, provide creative activities, and to have fun in a safe, structured environment. 

Early Release workshops will involve visual arts, dance and theater workshops. See the workshop themes below. You may register separately for the Clay Creations options, offered each early release day this fall as well. 

There are no refunds for missed workshops, no partial refunds. Your early release sample package can be canceled by September 1, 2024 with a full refund. Please email info@hopartscenter.org to request a refund.
