Sidney, Montana’s Sunrise Festival of the Arts, which takes place on Saturday, July 9, 2016, is excited to be offering four different art classes this year! The two we offered last year were so well received that we decided to expand the offering. Listed below are the classes and some details. The classes will be held outside in Veterans Memorial Park under the east picnic shelter, closest to the train.
