Classes are during the week and 2Create is open on the weekends.

“It is a beautiful match-up for the arts in Ramona,” Claudia Defresne noted in her announcement of classes. “Fall schedule includes classes with some of Ramona’s finest artist/instructors in a variety of media, free monthly salons (to be announced) and several exhibitions.”
