SoLA Spring Classes
by Mary Downer
South Louisiana Center for the Arts, also known as SoLA Center for the Arts, is a non-profit arts agency located in Houma. SoLA Center for the Arts was started in June 2001, by a group of local citizens. SoLA will proudly celebrate their 10th anniversary this summer.
Since it’s conception, SoLA has offered continued support of the arts by offering private lessons, art classes and theatre classes. SoLA’s Theatre Department performs two plays a year. They continuously work to educate the public on the importance of arts education and arts exposure to children.
For more information about SoLA or to register for classes, call 985-876-2222, visit their website at www.solacenter.org or visit their office located at 7839 Park Ave, Houma.
