A bar hanging from two ropes, but 20 feet in the air (don’t worry… there’s a net!) The flyer, holding the bar, jumps from a platform, swings through the air with the option for tricks and poses. Progressions include releasing and re-catching the bar, and being caught by a "catcher" on a second trapeze spaced perfectly across from it. Flyers fall into a net below, dismount, and get ready to fly all over again! NECCA offers drop-in classes for various circus classes throughout the session. Students can reserve their spot ahead of time on our website or show up 15 minutes early to class to register in person. (Note: we cannot guarantee space in the class if you do not pre-register.) Age 7 and up.

Step back into the vibrant world of the 1920s and 1930s with Jazz Age Illustration, a major exhibition exploring the art of popular illustration during this transformative era. Featuring over 100 works by renowned artists such as Aaron Douglas, John Held Jr., and Frank E. Schoonover, the exhibition delves into the cultural impact of illustration during a time of dramatic social change.

Organized by the Delaware Art Museum, Jazz Age Illustration is the first major exhibition to survey the art of popular illustration in the United States between 1919 and 1942—a vibrant and transformative era of innovation, evolving styles, social change, and expanding popular media.

Create your own adorable mushroom!

Work with local artist Mallory Zondag and learn how to sculpt with wool through that art of needle felting. During this three-hour workshop you will learn how to work with wire to create an armature, how to cover it with wool, how to use the tools to form the wool into some fantastic fungi and finally how to mix and blend colors to bring your wooly mushroom to life!

About the artist:
Mallory Zondag is a mixed-media fiber artist and artist educator. Her experience with textiles while in art school led her to create both independent and community sculpture through a variety of fiber art mediums. She explores deeply personal and connective universal stories through the meditative and hands-on practices of wet felting, weaving, sculpting, and stitching, seeking to bring the ephemeral into physical being. The growth and decay of the natural world, the duality of discomfort and attraction we feel towards it, and humanity's place within this dichotomy informs her dimensional textures and sculptural pieces.

Teen Intro to Stage Acting is an eight-week theatre and improv class for ages 13–17 at Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill.

We’ll explore both linear and tonal approaches—starting loose, building structure, and then bringing your drawing to life. No drawing experience is necessary; all materials provided.
