MuseCon 2 - Entertaining Our Muses

A convention in northeastern Illinois celebrating music and the hands-on arts in 2012

 

Programming

Programming at MuseCon runs from Friday at 1:30pm until 4:15pm Sunday.

We have some returning favorites from last year, and some new people, and some new things. The blinkie guys will be there with a new design just for us!

There will still be many changes as we get confirmations (or cancellations) from the people that have volunteered (or got drafted) to teach these sessions. Times for the classes listed here should not change. We are working on adding more. Those items listed as "Coming Soon" have not yet been completely confirmed.

Many sessions are included with your membership. Some of the sessions will require an additional fee to pay for the materials involved. You will soon be able to preregister for the individual classes that you are interested in to assure yourself a spot. Look for a Click to register for this activity symbol in the grid below, or look for a "register" link on the the description page. You may also browse through all of the registration pieces too.

If you have an idea for something you would like to see, or would like to volunteer for something, please let us know
