Spring 2021
2020 was a hard year on NCE and our community, but we are looking forward
to a new year! We have continued to adapt our program by making classes
virtual and canceling in-person meetings due to safety. While our program
looks very different than past years, Nashville Community Education continues
to provide quality enrichment and social connection at affordable prices.
This spring we have over 125 classes on the schedule including classes offered
virtually and potentially in-person. We miss seeing you face-to-face, but hope
that our virtual classes will continue to allow us to connect while being safe.
It is hard to plan for the future in uncertain times so we will continue to make
decisions based on the health and safety of our participants as we approach
start dates and may move classes online or have to cancel as needed.
Don't forget we have gift certificates available (pg. 28) - great for loved ones
both familiar and new to our classes. Consider encouraging someone in your
life to explore a new hobby, gain a skill or relax a little with a gift to NCE.
Office Hours: Monday–Thursday 10am-6pm
Office remains closed to the public until further notice.
