Mary
C.
O’Keefe
cultural center for arts and education
november & December
The Mary C. is for Everyone!
No matter your skill level, member or not, everyone is invited to get involved
at the Mary C. Being creative is often just about the desire to “make
stuff.” To get your hands dirty and find joy in the creative process. So we
have added more “make-it-and-take it” classes from fly-tying to batik to
making books and journals. We are hosting holiday craft camps for both
children and adults. Our youth programming has exploded with activities
for all age groups in visual, culinary and performing arts. A new literary
performance program is in the works. Sheila Thornburg, our programming
manager, just returned from PAE, SouthArt’s annual performing arts
booking showcase, and is supercharging our entertainment program to
offer a diverse array of concerts and performances.
The enthusiasm is spreading. Not a day goes by when we don’t have
someone drop in and say they cannot believe how much is going on
here and how there are so many fun classes they want to take them
all. And The Mary C staff feels the same way. Just ask Hans, our new
marketing manager. He’s jumped in head on, taking pottery, botanical
drawing, guitar lessons and more! Supporters and volunteers are calling
and asking how they can help. Performers are eager to appear on The
Mary C stage. Anita Arguelles, our director of visual and culinary arts,
has reached out to more area artisans to join us to for a startling array
of programs and invited guest instructors back by popular demand from
our students.
The Mary C is a fun place! Settle down with a cup of coffee or cocoa,
peruse the catalog and plan your fun at The Mary C. There’s something
for everyone.

All enrollments for classes and purchases of event
tickets require pre-registration and pre-payment.
You may register online 24/7, or by phone or in
person during office hours. Early registration is
recommended. In the event that the minimum
number of participants is not met for a class,
instructors may need to cancel the class. We are
all really bummed when that happens. If a class
for which you have registered is postponed or
cancelled, you will be notified.
Waiting List
Most classes have a maximum number of
participants. If a class you select is full, we will
happily place your name on a waiting list and
notify you if there is an opening. But to be placed
on the waiting list, you’ll need to call us or stop by.
While our super advanced ticketing system will not

capability to generate a waiting list.
Refunds
Full refunds are given when a class or event is

reasons or the need to go on a really cool vacation,
we will be happy to move your registration into
another class. No course credits will be granted.
Our classes often fill early, so if you must cancel
please try to do so in a timely manner so we can
offer the position to someone on our waiting list. Our
instructors are awesome, and we want to keep their
classes filled so they keep coming back to the Mary
C. On the rare occasion that you cannot find another
class to join, we will issue a full refund.
