Topics range from art to collectibles and antiques, computers, gardening, crafts, cooking, film, personal growth, fitness, home, and special interests. Unless otherwise stated, programs are designed for adults 18 and over. 

How Do I Register?

Location

Most of the programs are held at the ICC Peoria campus in Hickory Hall. We sometimes partner with area businesses to provide workshops/programs offsite. Content determines the program length; whether it meets one time or more. The format can be lecture, hands-on, day trip, group discussion, or a combination.
