Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow Neighborhood House

On August 3rd, students from the EF International School came down and spent the afternoon with our Senior Artists Workshop. The students learned about the artwork and its inspiration while and our members really enjoyed learning about the diverse group of young people. We look forward to more opportunities to have both generations spend time together learning and appreciating each other.

EF Students visit the Senior Art Workshop at the Neighborhood House 8/3/16. Both the students and Art members really enjoyed time getting to learn about each other. Students asked questions about the artwork and inspiration for certain pieces while our members learned about the diverse backgrounds of the EF students.
