Find a creative routine at the Art School at Old Church
Explore classes and galleries at a longstanding Demarest arts center.
The Art School at Old Church occupies a nineteenth-century church building in Demarest and traces its founding to 1974. The nonprofit, nonsectarian arts center offers courses and workshops, with both daytime and evening options. Its address is 561 Piermont Road, a useful destination to know when exploring the town's cultural resources.
Choose your first step by the kind of experience you want. A course offers repeated time with a medium; a workshop may suit a more focused project. Read the individual description for experience level, materials, fees, and registration availability. The school's website has separate course and material-list links, so check both before buying supplies.
The center also maintains the Mikhail Zakin Gallery and Café Gallery. Looking at the exhibition information can be a way to explore before committing to a class. Confirm visitor hours directly, and let a first visit help you decide whether drawing, ceramics, painting, or another practice belongs in your weekly routine.
