Kids CREATE – 2nd Sunday Art Club Offering Free Workshops
Starting this Spring, CREATE Council on the Arts is hosting FREE art workshops for kids ages 8-14 in Catskill. These 90 minute sessions will take place on the 2nd Sunday each month from March – June. Participants will create original artwork while exploring new methods and art media, using materials with low environmental impact, learning about artists working with similar themes and looking at and discussing real artwork in the CREATE gallery.
All the workshops are designed as one-offs and at the end of each session participants will be able take their finished artwork home.
