Summer Arts Programming at State Park

OLEAN, NY -- The Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) announces its free summer programming held in partnership with Allegany State Park. The classes were made possible with funds donated by National Fuel as well as monies raised by auctioning artist-inspired Adirondack Chairs in August 2009.

The first of many summer art workshops will begin next week with Instructor Joan Pingitore who will teach Printing from Nature. This fun, interactive, workshop will give kids and adults a chance to create art from nature and have a beautiful creation to take home with them. Joan Pingitore, a local artist, will guide participants through creating an interesting composition and printmaking techniques. Everyone will make a unique piece of art while learning about the environment in the process. The workshop will take place at The Warming Hut. The Warming Hut is located at the Summit Cabin Loop across from the Art Roscoe x-country ski trails. From I-86 take exit 21 into the park and proceed to the top of the hill. The hut will be on your right across the parking lot. Register by emailing Pati at patricia.andrews@oprhp.state.ny.us or calling Allegany State Park at 354-9101 ext 221.

Other arts workshops offered at Allegany State this summer include Nature Journaling, Take Better Vacation Photos, Park it and Draw, and Woodland Fairy House and Flower Friends. All classes are free and open to campers and regional residents. Early registration is encouraged as workshops fill quickly. A complete list of workshops, descriptions, and locations are available at CCAC’s website, www.myartscouncil.net or sign up for CCAC email alerts at artscouncil@verizon.net
