Art Fun for the Family


This could be a great collaborative Family Project!
Hi there:

 

I am the administrative assistant at Brookside, the Saratoga County Historical Society and I wanted to bring an artistic program to your attention! We are administering a program where we are seeking art work in the form of a tree ornament, that represents Saratoga County. It's a juried project, but the winning piece will be displayed on the state tree in Albany. If any kids are interested in this it could be a great project -- maybe even a class collaborative or something... Could be a great resume builder, or just for fun.

 

Details are attached and on our website. If anyone is interested, please contact Joy Houle or director, or myself.

 

Thanks!

The Secret Garden


This enchanting classic of children’s literature is re-imagined in a brilliant musical by a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright. Orphaned in India, 11 year old Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire to live with her embittered, reclusive Uncle Archibald and his invalid son, Colin. The estate’s many wonders include a hidden garden which holds the key to Mary’s new life. This compelling tale of forgiveness and renewal is a Tony Award winning treasure for children and adults alike.

A musical based on the award winning children's book by Roald Dahl

Enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka stages a contest by hiding five golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars.  Whoever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka Factory as well as a lifetime supply of candy.  Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats: but the fifth is a likable young lad named Charlie Bucket who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather.  Come join their adventure.

I recently went to the new, fun painting studio Saratoga Sip and Paint! For those of you who have not been there yet, it is a lot of fun. You pay a fee up front, and they supply you with acrylic paints, canvas, brushes, and the instructor. You then get to paint a wonderful painting and take it home when you leave! They do offer children's classes. You can check the calender and choose your date and painting. It is a good time for the whole family. https://www.saratogapaintandsip.com/
