Our Community Arts Education Program
For nearly 15 years, Saratoga Arts has been dedicated to offering quality fine art and fine craft classes, taught by regional artists, to students of all ages and at all artistic levels. In that time we’ve grown our program to its current capacity, where it now serves over 950 students a year and works with nearly 50 art teachers.
Located in the Arts Center at 320 Broadway in Saratoga Springs, Saratoga Arts has several fine arts classrooms, a weaving studio, a 110-seat theater, two gallery spaces and a darkroom. We have on occasion, when our facilities can not accommodate a class, offered classes off-site as well.
Classes & Workshops
In the summer, Saratoga Arts offers 4 programs in art and theater over the course of 9 weeks (for children ages 5-15) and a limited number of adult classes on weekends in July and August.
In September, we move back to a full schedule of adult classes (between 25-35 scheduled classes and workshops) in a variety of different fine art mediums for students at all experience levels. We are currently working on the Fall 2014 class schedule which will be available online at the end of July.
SUMMER CLASSES
OPEN STUDIO | DRAWING CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Open Studio - Figure Drawing
The Open Studio sessions offered by Saratoga Arts are a great practice for any artist interested in working from a live model, without the formality of a class. Open Studio sessions are informal group meetings where artists can talk about their work, share ideas and discuss a variety of methods and mediums. There is no teacher or moderator for these sessions. Sessions are recommended for ages 15 and up. Participants can work in the medium of their choice. Please bring your own supplies. Pre-registration is encouraged for the Open Studio sessions, but not required.
Drop in rates for: $12 for members / $14 for non-members. Did you know the Open Studio has a website? http://www.lifestudio.org/clubs/saratogaImages.
