<b>The big news this month: </b><br>
LAVA received funding from Brooklyn Arts Council for our community programs over the coming year.  LAVA loves Brooklyn! Not just because of our fantastic arts council, but also because of the amazing myriad communities that are intertwined with each other, many of which weave through our doors on a regular basis to stand on hands and stand on each other.

	Thank you to all who helped LAVA usher in the holiday season by joining us at our party on December 6. A lovely afternoon was had by all, with snacking on tasty homemade treats, making candles, adding personal milestones to the LAVA timeline, and mingling with the larger LAVA Community. <p>
 
It has been a very busy year, and the office and studio will be closed from December 20 to January 1 so we can take a rest and be ready to greet you all again in the new year. LAVA will be in heavy rehearsal mode beginning in January, preparing for our show that will premiere in June at Dixon Place. <p>

Our Winter Class Session begins on Monday, January 4. <A
