  • Dear ACE Community,We are headed into our winter term with a catalog full of virtual classes, having adapted to the pandemic and a new way of doing things. Despite the hard times we’re all experiencing, there’s no doubt that many enjoy learning from the comfort of home. We do miss seeing you though, and would love to see photos of what you’ve been doing in our classes.

    Check out our many new classes this term and join us for a winter of learning, exploring the possibilities, and staying connected. We’ve printed a condensed catalog again this term, so please visit ArlingtonCommunityEd.org to read the full class descriptions and register.

    As a self-sustaining organization we stay afloat thanks to your participation. So if you haven’t tried a class with us yet, go ahead and register—we know you’ll enjoy it! And please consider making a donation to our scholarship fund, which enables us to pass along the joy of learning to APS students in need.

    Our online classes are a creative way to spend quality time with friends and family from anywhere. Together you can play chess, cook dinner, learn a language, read plays, or even invite your book club to join you in BollyX! They also make a unique holiday gift—email us at [email protected] to purchase a gift certificate.

    Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season.

    —Your friends at ACE

    Winter Cover Art Contest Winner“Winter Bouquet” by Anastasia Semash

    Anastasia Semash is an artist and educator living in Arlington who has taught ACE classes for children and adults for the past five years. Most of her work is inspired by natural objects, including florals and

    landscapes. “Winter Bouquet” symbolizes the coming of winter with its composition of dry Chinese lanterns, setaria grass, and red ferns on the black background. The delicate Chinese lanterns wrap the fragile berries, alluding to protection and care. You can see more of Anastasia’s art on her website: www.artsemash.com
