Join us this fall for a fun and creative series of Art and Architecture classes taught by Alexis Starke for students entering grades 1 – 12!  We will explore a range of materials and techniques and draw inspiration from a variety of sources from ancient to contemporary architecture as well as artists who use architecture thematically in their work.  The series will be both creative and academically rich. Students will be encouraged to develop their own ideas and approaches to each project.  Classes are free and all materials are provided.  Registration for Piermont residents opens July 31st.  Registration for all opens August 16th.  Image by Bodys Isek Kingelez

Our Annual Student Art Show: Inspirations from Ireland is up and all are welcome to come and see it anytime the library is open!

Our students in grades 1 – 12 in Alexis Starke’s library art classes have been working on a variety of projects united by the theme Inspirations from Ireland. We have taken inspiration from the early medieval manuscript the Book of Kells; the contemporary animated film The Secret of Kells; and the jewel toned stained glass portraits of Harry Clarke, while learning some Irish history, culture, geography, and science along the way.

Come join in the excitement as our wonderful students share their artwork with the community!

Our next Create and Sip event for adults with Alexis Starke is coming up!  This month, we will be creating a quick Brazilian landscaped inspired by Tarsila do Amaral.  We will touch on composition, shading, blending and value and should end up with a fantastic piece by the end of the night!
Each participant will receive a goody bag with chocolates, a mini bottle of wine, paper, and inspiration images. Oil pastels are ideal for this project (try them if you never have!) but colored pencils or crayons can work too. Our projects are always designed to be relaxed and beginner friendly but fun for all levels.  This is a live virtual class.
Registration for Piermont patrons starts Monday, May 1st, at 12:00 noon.  Registration for all starts Monday, May 8th, at 10:00 am.
