Summer is a great time to slow down and explore new things. Lamar Arts is set to host a series of classes and workshops through their Create-A-Palooza series this month to “unleash your creative potential.” All of the workshops will take place in the Lamar Arts Depot and Gallery located at 101 Plaza Way in downtown Barnesville. Create-A-Palooza will be hosted by various local artists in a variety of media such as drawing, acrylic and watercolor painting, resin, and more. For more information or to sign up for a class, visit during gallery hours on Friday 11-2 pm, Saturday 10-4 pm, or Sunday 2-4 pm.
