Mardi Gras school starts Monday

Are the kids off from school for Mardi Gras? Don’t just let them play Wii all day. Send them to the Arts Council’s Mardi Gras Arts Blast, a two-day camp that teaches sketching, painting, pottery, music film, drama and more to young artists ages six to 12. Monday and Tuesday classes are from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ($80), and working parents have an extended-day option until 5:30 p.m. ($100). Space is limited, so sign up today by calling Robin at 344-8558, Ext. 223. artsbr.org
