Johnson Announces Return of Cultural Enrichment Workshops

Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Michele Johnson announced that the Department of Community and Youth Services, Cultural and Performing Arts Division (CAPA) will offer exciting Cultural Enrichment programs for the fall 2021 season, and registration for all programs is now open.

“I am pleased to announce that the Town’s Cultural Enrichment Program will return this fall, as these enrichment programs offer residents the opportunity to develop a new skill while having fun and meeting others in the process,” Councilwoman Johnson said. “Whether you’re an emerging artist or a resident looking for a new hobby, these classes offer a wonderful opportunity to broaden your horizons, and provide not only education but enjoyment as well.”

All of the classes will be held at the Syosset-Woodbury Community Center, located at 7800 Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury.
