WORKSHOPS, CLASSES AND DEMOS

Wednesday Workshops


In keeping with the Colonie Art League founders' ideas to further the advancement of visual arts, to encourage the appreciation of art in the community, and provide educational programs for artists, Members of the Colonie Art League can paint all day on Wednesdays at St. Matthews Church on Old Loudon Rd in Latham, NY. 


  • There is no instruction, but a wonderful opportunity to paint away from household duties, i.e., the washer, dryer, phone, etc.   
  • The church is open between 9 AM and 4 PM; however, there are no "special" hours. 
  • You may paint in any medium and we usually have a still life set up.
  • There is a $3 donation to help with the cost of heat and lights.
  • Bring a lunch and share your enthusiasm.

Summer Art Program

One of the ways the Colonie Art League gives back to the community has been through our Summer Art Program.  Held around the Pruyn House gardens for 5 mornings in late June /early July, it’s a wonderful way to spend some time assisting interested children with drawing and painting in a beautiful setting.  Love of children and painting experience is a must.  Please consider assisting - I remember being so happy my girls were offered this opportunity, and we still admire their displayed artwork they made from their time spent there. 

We would need 5-6 people to guide the children.  Please contact Marcia Spada if you can help.
