LANSING - In case the colorful lights, chilling snow, and empty stores haven't shown, it's the holiday season! Christmas spirit is abound through Lansing, and a stroll through Old Town or down the Washington Square would cure any forgetfulness.


But, true to Lansing, Art makes everything that much better. No different in the holiday season! You certainly recall Christmas crafts at school and home. All of the amazing entertainment across your television, being cemented by the coldest of nature's beauties - snow. The wintertime hot drinks and memories with loved ones that locked in a favorite time of year for many.


Would anyone like to, say, combine them all?


Don't worry. It's already being done ... in fact it's already here! Opportunity Art's proudly presents '12 Days Of Christmas: an Art Event Series' to the Capital Region.
