From ages 3 to 93: SAS summer programs included all ages!
Greetings all,
It has been a whirlwind summer of creative fun as SAS wraps up summer arts camps through ongoing partners: Healdsburg Community Nursery School for camps ages 3 -5, Healdsburg Parks and Recreation department for ages 6 – 9 and 10 – 17, and through our newest collaboration with True West Film Center for ages 7 – 14. The students have been engaged with music making, painting, drawing, ceramics-both wheel and hand building, comics, drama/improv, mixed-media, 2-D and 3-D, studio, garden art and more. View pics and videos from our camps and workshops here.

SAS also hosted two printmaking workshops for ages 15 plus with our artists-in-residence, Saruha Kilaru, who taught two workshops: drypoint workshop and linocut. We hosted both high school students and adults. One highlight was the presence of a mother (93 years old) and daughter team, both artists, who thrived in the linocut workshop by learning new techniques in the reduction process.

Finally, we are so grateful to receive several recent donations from generous individuals who believe in our mission: “To inspire lifelong appreciation of the arts for all.” One donor, Barbara Stanger, spoke from the heart through her gift, telling us she believed in what we are doing because her own mother, Tobeleah Wechsler, founded Cheltenham Center for the Arts in the 1940s in Pennsylvania which is still in existence today! Barbara and other incredible donors have provided much-needed scholarships to low-income youth who have limited access to arts education. Thank you all!!
