Clarksville, TN – In July, the first in a series of free community art classes will be presented by Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Art for Hearts.
These events will feature local artists leading participants in a painting project on the theme, “Turning Junk into Something Useful”.

The classes will be held at the Habitat Restore at 408 Madison Street from 1:00pm-3:00pm.
