For over 18 years, Mr. Matt has developed his own unique childhood music program designed to engage children using music, movement, & drama. The children play actual instruments, use props & costumes from around the world to expand their understanding of music while invigorating their imagination. Mr. Matt also integrates academic achievement by using numbers, colors, shapes & letters which blends the elements of the whole child: emotional, social & physical. Mr. Matt has a natural gift to connect with children, encouraging them to participate & have FUN!!
This event is on the side library lawn and will be held weather-permitting. Rain date will be announced in the event that it becomes necessary.

Let your inner artist out!  Join us on Thursday, August 19th at 7:00pm for the latest in our popular Create and Sip Events for Adults with Alexis Starke.  This month, we will create an Neo-expressionist painting inspired by New York artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.  Largely self-taught in the great museums of New York City, Basquiat rose to fame in the 1980’s, bringing the African American experience into the artistic establishment.  Each participant will receive a goody bag with chocolates, a mini bottle of wine, paper, inspiration images, and some black acrylic paint.  You will also need either acrylic paints and brushes; oil pastels; and/ or chalk pastels.  The project will not work without one of these. Please email astarke@piermontlibrary.org with any questions.  Our project is designed to be relaxed and beginner friendly but fun for all levels.

Join us for a fun, relaxing, and creative series of art classes taught by Alexis Starke!  We will explore a range of materials and techniques and get inspired by a variety of artists in our beautiful setting beside the Hudson River.  We will create a new project each week to accommodate vacations.  Classes are free and all  materials are provided.  Please email astarke@piermontlibrary.org with any questions.
