Learning For Life Overview
The Skirball's Learning for Life program invites adult learners to experience art, history, and culture and to engage with fellow students in an intimate, welcoming environment.
This winter 2010, register for a range of new courses. Delight in classes on American humor and 1960s popular music; explore the Civil Rights movement with two key figures of the era; discover what the Bible has to say about animals; and have fun while handcrafting playful portraits in an art workshop just for adults. Or sign up for our ever-popular book clubs, current events discussions, or art classes offered in partnership with Otis College of Art and Design.
Class sizes are limited, so enroll today. Registration for all classes is currently open.
