The Art Garden is pleased (and grateful!) to announce
our upcoming week-long summer programming for children and teens.
All of our programs are collaborations; with other artists, educators,
and our new youth leadership group.
The Art Garden, Shelburne Falls Yoga, and The Handle Factory Community Clay Studio are collaborating again to offer:
Clay, Yoga & Art and Clay & Art
Participants will start the morning with Clay Classes in the Handle Factory, followed by mid-day movement in a shaded area outside the Mill. They will eat their bag lunches down by the river, and spend their afternoons creating mixed media art outdoors in a lovely wooded area behind the Mill.

The Art Garden, Wilder Brook Farm, and environmental educator Robin Huntley are excited to yet again offer:
FARM & ART
a hands-on, nature-based summer youth program.
August 2 – 6, 2021
Monday – Friday, 9am – 3pm
at Wilder Brook Farm, a picturesque organic farm in East Charlemont.
Program facilitators, John Hoffman, Robin Huntley, Jane Beatrice Wegscheider and 4 teen mentors will guide participants (ages 7 – 14 +) as they explore the farm’s gardens, fields, woods, and stream while learning to experience the natural world as an artist, a farmer, and a naturalist.
Each day will include individual and collaborative artmaking, harvest and preparation of food, and exploration of the farm’s varied landscape. The program will culminate with a celebration of outdoor art installations and a youth-made cabinet of natural curiosities.
Grassroots Fund support allows us to offer this program as
pay-what-you-can for children ages 7 – 14.
Four paid teen mentors will co-facilitate the program.
Pay-what-you-can cost is $100 – $350*.
* No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
