The Rye Arts Center Reviews

I feel fortunate to have such a gem of an arts appreciation organization so close to me. I used to go to the Rye Arts Center solely for my children's activities -- they have a plethora of outstanding courses ranging from music to art to theater in the summer. My children took piano lessons, cartooning, photography, Minecraft, basic programming, and summer theater productions that included Mary Poppins and Matilda. As I've learned more about the Rye Arts Center, I have been going more often than even my children. I have attended cultural music concerts and comedy nights. I've gone on tours of local art galleries organized by the Rye Arts Center. In addition, I've loved the exhibits at the Rye Arts Center. Who could forget the Irving Harper collection? And most recently, I loved the Nenne Sanguineti Pogge exhibit. As much as I love all the concerts, performances, and productions in NYC, it's so logistically easy to have great family and adult programming available here in Westchester County without all the train hassle.

The Rye Arts Center is a terrific community resource. I recently took my first painting class, Loosen Up and Paint. The instructor was great and I loved the class!

The Rye Arts Center is a treasure in our community. It enriches our lives by bringing top notch events and shows into the community. Many thanks to everyone who works and otherwise contributes to make this all happen. And just wait until the Portal arrives...

The Rye Arts Center is a wonderful organization that offers high quality programs across across the visual arts, music arts and dance. Its programs are organized for young children, teenagers and adults. My personal experience with the programs has been consistently positive. My children learned how to play musical instruments at the RAC, in addition to attending drawing classes. They are now teenagers and continue to utilize the skills they learned. The programs and sponsorships for adults are also of high value. Strong endorsement from this writer for the RAC.

I've discovered hidden painting talent! I started with watercolors taught by Brigitte Loritz, who is amazing, and am now working with acrylics and oils with Elizabeth Derderian. Even after a busy work day, spending a few hours in an evening painting class is a highlight of my week. I want to try the BYOB art class and see what happens when a glass of wine is involved.

Its free which is great but the art work is either hit or miss. I'd suggest you find out what viewing before visiting.

The classes and programs are so varied, there is something for everyone at the Rye Arts Center. I especially enjoy a painting class for adults. With no prior experience I have been guided to complete paintings worthy of hanging on my wall.

Rye Arts Center truly has something for everyone. Our children have really enjoyed the summer theater camps for the last three years. I highly recommend all classes at the Rye Arts Center and be sure to check out their wide and varied panels, shows and concerts.
