The Northport Arts Association (NAA) is packed with different workshop and class offerings, both new and old, this year. People of all skill levels are welcomed to attend any of the classes and are encouraged to RSVP if interested in participating.
A new art club, led by various NAA board members and artists, that will meet once a month in the evenings was created as a way to collaborate on art within the organization. The group will gather at the Village Art Building, where there will be snacks and libations, giving people the opportunity to share ideas and create artistic projects. Jan. 8 was the first club session and people made a photo collage using black and white images. The second club session is coming up on Feb. 12, but will be a discussion on the book called “Your Brain on Art” by Ivy Ross and Susan Magsamen. Each monthly session will feature a different activity.
“They wanted to launch it (the club) just to reach and get more people involved and maybe expand their mediums in a different way… If you didn’t want to take a big class or you haven’t been previously involved with art, this is a good introductory way to get involved with different mediums,” said Northport Arts Association Executive Director Hadley Dickinson. “Our theme this year is to create, educate, and celebrate art.”
