Letter from the Director of Education:

Hello all. We are so happy to finally call 160 South. Water Street home! For those new to our mission, we are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit arts organization housed in an old industrial warehouse which formerly manufactured windmills in downtown Batavia. We have converted the space into a 16,000 square foot art center equipped with 26 artist studios, two fine art galleries, and classrooms. The community-based Water Street School of Art offers a wide range of quality art classes taught by professional artists and highly qualified teachers. We are just completing our fall classes and are preparing our Holiday Workshops and Winter Classes Schedule which we expect to post online by November 14, 2009. We have another great line up and we invite you to join us by taking a class and expanding your artistic horizons at the same time.
