Spring 2023 Courses

Take a class with a professional artist.

Acting with George Hawkins

George Hawkins is a working agency-represented actor. He graduated with a degree in theatre acting from Florida School of The Arts. He has worked with the Jewish Community Alliance of Jacksonville as an acting instructor, and children's theatre performer, and as an acting coach for students of Bishop Snyder High School. George also lends his talents to many theatre, film and commercial projects. In George's classes, children will learn to use their voice, movement, and expressions to create fun characters, and build confidence, poise, and self-esteem. 

Art with Kate McManus

Kate McManus is an enthusiastic and multifaceted instructor with an extensive background in creative arts. She graduated from FSU with a dual-degree in Theatre and Media Production, and spent six years in Los Angeles working mainly as an Art Department production assistant and coordinator.  Kate taught Drama in the Duval County Public School system for three years to both middle and high school students and continues to share her love of the arts with children as a teaching artist with ArtLife Studios. ​

Music with Arvid Smith

Arvid Smith has performing for over four decades in venues and stages of all kinds, all over the world. From Bluegrass festivals to the sacred chants of Kirtan and everywhere in between. 

"Arvid Smith is a rock & roller at heart and it shows in the energetic chord delivery, lead guitar lines, and yes, even in his complex fingerpicking. Smith can often be seen and heard as a sideman in a number of bands, not only in Jacksonville, but across the United States and even in France. It is a rare treat to see the man performing solo. He holds his own and then some." - EU Jacksonville​​
