The Art Effect helps the youth in the Hudson Valley explore, experience, and excel in the arts, introducing them to visual arts and media, giving them the opportunity to develop real skills in these fields, and guiding them towards achieving their academic and career goals. We empower youth to develop their artistic voice to shape their futures and bring about positive social change. The Art Effect offers progressive, dynamic classes and programs that encourage youth to develop their artistic voice to shape their futures and bring about positive social change.
At this time, all classes this spring will be held in person unless otherwise advised by the state.
