Summer Arts Festival Classes for Kids

Many Allegany County young people enjoyed working on art

projects at the annual AAA Summer Arts Festival during July

and August 2017.

From Canaseraga to Angelica to Belmont to Bolivar to Friend-

ship and Scio and over to Whitesville, kids spent summer hours

having fun & learning. Visiting expert Sean Duran of Flower

City Arts in Rochester spent two days at Angelica Ink teaching

paper making, while Mary Warner, Angelica Ink owner, taught

print making. Wendy Skinner of the Fountain Arts Center pre-

sented classes including string art, dioramas, plein air art, compo-

sition and quilling. Additional groups included jewelry making

with Elaine Hardman, pottery with Marsha VanVlack and several

classes with Alice Deres and other local artist/teachers.

“I learned a lot!”, “I enjoyed the class and hope to come

again.” were student comments. Using new tools, designing and

creating their own objects brought them real pleasure Plans for

SAF 2018 are in the works. Contact Administrator Molly Pike

(mwpike11@gmail.com) to apply for teaching in 2018.

Partial funding for SAF comes from the NYS Council on the

Arts Decentralization Re-grant Program with support from Gov.

Mario Cuomo and the NYS Legislature administered by the Cat-

taraugus County Arts Council; and from local AAA members

and corporate donors. THANK YOU!
