GET SERIOUS ABOUT ART AT GARRISON ART CENTER!

Garrison Art Center (GAC) offers classes seven days a week, great Teaching

Artists, and a non-competitive setting for ADULTS, TEENS & KIDS to explore

their excitement about being an artist.

YOUNG ARTIST PROGRAMMING (age 15+) positions GAC as the place for creative

teens to connect with art, and each other.  It is important for artistic

youth to be supported as such, and GAC is committed to providing serious,

college-level instruction to teens.  Core classes are now offered such as

"Drawing From the Live Model" with Carinda Swann and "Figure Painting" with

David Loeb.  A Fall workshop with Andrea Eisenberg, "Sculpting From the Live

Model", anticipates a return of instruction in clay modeling techniques this

winter.  Also new are "Teen Pottery on the Wheel with Beth Bolgla (in the

renovated ceramics studio), and "Silkscreen Techniques" with Carlos Uribe.

PLEIN AIR WORKSHOPS place the excitement of GAC's Artist On Location (AOL)

event into plein air instruction for adults & older teens. Combined with the

Fall AOL October 4th, these new weekend workshops offer a great way to spend

the Fall working outdoors.  "Landscape Painting" with Kevin Kearns, and

"Drawing with Pastels in the Landscape" with Sheilah Rechtschaffer, provide

professional instruction in beautiful settings-- including Garrison's

Landing, Stonecrop Gardens, and local private gardens.

Explore DECORATIVE ARTS to create something unique for your home. Review in

our Fall Class Schedule the "Decorative Painting Techniques" workshop with

Susan Minier, the "Mosaics" class with Tina Davenport, and "Watercolor Paper

Marbling" with Christina DiMarco.  Creative CLASSES FOR CHILDREN by Jaanika

Peerna and Barbara Smith Goia offer our youngest artists opportunities to

learn the joy of art-making too!
