Fall is off to a wonderful start at The Center. The "You're U.S." exhibit has attracted great media attention and many first time visitors to our galleries. Fall classes are underway, and we are preparing for two important fundraisers - "Off the Wall" and our annual Holiday Party & Boutique!

Fall classes for children and adults have begun, but registration remains open for workshops and classes with start date later this fall.  There are some great one day workshops this month and a special four-day en plein air workshop with American Impressionist John Traynor.

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the city. Join artist, lecturer and Exhibitions Committee Chair Wes Sherman for the October Chelsea Art Trip. See the newest shows in Chelsea and learn the ins and outs of the world's most famous art district. 

The new open studio program begins this month for members (free) and currently enrolled students ($5/hour). Members will receive regular email updates about the times when they can work on their own projects in Studio 2 or 3. The weekly schedule will also be posted in the studios.
