Hi John Moreno, thanks for your comments and your correction I'll send the correction to Your Hub staff writer Erin Feese. As you may already know Founders and Art Directors of CCABP including myself held a public comment where we introduced the pilot program to Edgewater's Parks and Recreations Board. It would have been nice to see you at that meeting. Members of CCABP, including myself, introduced the program and we are happy to bring art workshops to Edgewater, CO. P&R Director Lydia Anderson will be taking in registrations to answer your question and, yes, this is TRULY a pilot program for what we hope will become after-school arts programs serving public schools in Edgewater. The city is greatly in need of after-school programming and we are happy to provide that vital service to the community. Best Wishes, Francisco Quinones Art Director/ Art Instructor Community Collage Arts-Based Productions

5845 W 25th Ave is in Edgewater not Denver. Has this program been signed off by the Mayor of Edgewater, the Director of Parks and Recreation or even addressed by the P&R Board? Is there even a person to take reservations for this program? Is this truly a "pilot program"?
