Families are invited to CreARTive at The Art Guild, on a Saturday in August 19, 2017, from 1-4 pm. The open house with FREE art-related activities such as tie dying, simple printmaking, and clay hand-building, painting, drawing, collage and more is a way for parents to meet instructors and familiarize themselves with The Art Guild. The projects will be geared for ages 5 through 12.
“Our art classes for kids are fun and educational,” said Susan Herbst, Associate Executive Director. “Our teachers are amazing professionals who come up with creative projects every week all year long. We’d like to reach out to parents, schools and the community to let them know that we offer fun, reasonably priced art classes for students of all ages – from kindergarten through high school, as well as college and beyond.”
This event is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor M. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and is administered by The Huntington Arts Council, Inc.
Please be aware that we share the property with private families. Please be courteous of others while at Elderfields.
