It’s a fabulous line up for our Saturday Family Arts Program! There’s something for the whole family with offerings by four of our talented local artists.

For children 5 & under: Musical Picnic with Chelsea Snider

***Please note: children under the age of 3 must have a caregiver in the room with them. Children between the ages of 3-5 may attend with a caregiver on site, but who may be participating in our Adult Caregiver workshop.

Discover the wide world of percussion instruments with this interactive workshop by Wheelhouse teacher and percussionist Chelsea Snider! We will explore varied instruments, and get creative about other ways of playing with sound.

For children ages 5-10(ish): Clay Play with Asia Sosnowski

Saturday’s clay sessions will be a general exploration of clay in both solid and slip forms, combined with social energy and engagement while experiencing various sensory and creative impulses. Clay sessions are messy and very energetic, come prepared with mud clothes, muddy buddies, or waders with boots, and a small towel if possible!

For youth and adults ages 10 & up: Photography with Hillary Baack

The multi-talented Hillary Baack will guide participants in cultivating their photographic eye, and introduce techniques for framing portraiture, still lifes, or other subjects, following participants’ interests. Basic photo editing skills will also be shared. Participants may use their own humble phone cameras to learn techniques for beautiful photography, and we will also have some photo devices available for those without their own phones.

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of The Of ice of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by CREATE Council on the Arts.
