The building may close, but classes are still on!
As ARTfactory gears up for their massive fundraiser haunted house “Factory of Fear,” they are happy to announce that they will continue to run classes this October despite the building closure! Thanks to a partnership with the City of Manassas Community Center, students can enjoy their programming uninterrupted as ARTfactory celebrates the spooky season in style.
This video shows the finished work of the latest “Mural Painting” class! Over the course of six weeks, four students shaped the second-floor hallway into a celebration of art and color.
