Los Alamos Arts Council Announces February Concerts, Classes and Kite Festival Preparations

A busy slate of arts programming and preparations for a milestone festival are under way in Los Alamos as the Los Alamos Arts Council (LAAC) rolled out a February schedule that mixes concerts, adult and youth classes and the return of afterschool art while the organization readies its 30th Annual Kite Festival. In a news release LAAC wrote, "The Los Alamos Arts Council is staying busy this February! Our small but mighty team is up to everything from concerts to adult and youth classes (including the return of afterschool art) to getting ready for our 30th Annual Kite Festival. Here’s a snapshot of what we have coming up, and remember you can always find updated events on our website." The release closes on a community note: "We hope to see you soon!"

Among the items LAAC highlighted is a drop-in improv series, "Santa Fe Improv & LALT: Drop-In Improv!", presented by Santa Fe Improv and Los Alamos Little Theatre. The series runs Wednesdays, February 4 through March 25, with sessions from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Fuller Lodge Art Center, 2132 Central Ave. Instructor Nick Hubley is listed as the leader for eight sessions described as flexible - "come to one or all or anywhere in between!" The listings emphasize that sessions are all-level and intended for adults only, and note that no prior improv experience is necessary. While the event appears on Fuller Lodge and LAAC calendar pages, the copy explicitly states, "This event is not affiliated with the Los Alamos Arts Council." The presenters' website also indicates that refunds are not available for drop-in classes.

LAAC identifies itself as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating from Fuller Lodge Art Center downtown. The organization programs a gallery and gift shop, runs education programs including a summer camp, and produces several cultural events annually such as arts and crafts fairs and the kite festival. The February release functions as both a calendar preview and a reminder that residents can check the LAAC events page for updates and follow @laac_flac for announcements and sign-up links.

For local residents, the announcement signals more opportunities for arts participation and for downtown activity at Fuller Lodge. The return of afterschool art and the ongoing adult class offerings contribute to arts education and weekday cultural options, while the 30th Annual Kite Festival signals a long-running community tradition that will have local economic and social spillovers when details are released. Readers seeking to register for classes or to follow Kite Festival developments should consult the Los Alamos Arts Council events page and LAAC social updates for the latest sign-up links and logistical information.
