At the end of the evening, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind creation and a newfound talent you’ll want to explore. This is not your average art class, this is art entertainment.  ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Despite general consensus or what you previously thought when you heard the words RepYourCity, we are redefining what it means. 
<br />
<br />Representing your city isn't about disrespecting other cities, its not about who can do what better, its not about limiting yourself to worldwide experiences....it IS about pooling together resources to positively affect change, it IS about being held accountable for your contribution to that change, its about respecting your neighbor from across the street to across the world. 
<br />
<br />Most importantly RepYourCity is about giving the most common individual the power to contribute to his/her city in a way that constitutes pride, hope and honor. 
<br />
<br />If you don't RepYourCity...who will? ]]></description>
