We have a range of independent and live video art classes for grades 1 – adult! For July, we will be taking inspiration from the art and animation of Disney Studios and learning about some of the great Disney artists, tying in with our Summer Reading theme of folk tales and fairy tales, Imagine Your Story.

Each week we will email a new lesson plan that you can complete independently. You can also watch a Disney movie that will go along with your project! You can contact instructor Alexis Starke for help at any time. When you are finished, email us your project and we will share through our social media AND enter you in our weekly Art Supplies Raffle!

We will also be offering live video sessions which you can register for separately.

Please visit our events page for more information.

The Piermont Library is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bob Samuels and his partner Karen Brown.

A beloved and longstanding member of the community, Bob was very involved with our Library’s events and supportive of our community as a whole. As President of the Piermont Civic Association and Editor of the Piermont Newsletter, Bob touched the lives of so many and he will be greatly missed.

He, and all those in our communities, like Charlie Bullock and his family, who have passed during these troubling times, will be remembered in our hearts. For Bob and Karen, we can at least find some small joy knowing that they are once again together, and at peace. For all those lost to this terrible disease, we hope that they are resting easy and those that loved them will find some peace and know we are thinking of them.

The Dennis P. McHugh Piermont Public Library will offer a series of Distance Art Classes for students in grades 1 – 9 taught by Alexis Starke.  Although these classes are technically geared toward children, adults are more than welcome to join in too! 

At the moment, we are emailing lesson plans and posting the finished pieces on our social media so that the kids- and community- can see what each other are doing.  Students are welcome to ask for help or feedback via email, text, phone, etc.  We may add a video element at some point as well.  

Classes will cover a variety of materials and techniques in drawing, painting, design, sculpture, mixed media, collage, and printmaking. Inspiration will be taken from the greats of art history, contemporary artists, and our beautiful surroundings in Piermont on the Hudson River. Creativity will be developed in a supportive environment. And of course we always have fun!
