a creative way to everyday renaissance through performance, art and lifelong learning
Creative Cauldron in partnership with Falls Church Arts is presenting an exciting, year-long series of performances, workshops and art exhibits built around the principles* that Leonardo daVinci, the first Renaissance man, used to nurture his genius. Throughout the year, participants will be invited on a journey of discovery, imagination and self-enrichment.
