I was unable to make a night planned and Megan, the owner, extended my re-take of the class to another evening, because I asked NICELY. If there is a no refund policy, then what did that person expect? She closed her bank accounts? Now that's going a little crazy over a painting class. Have attended many, and never experienced ANY issues, even with rescheduling in case of weather or illness. I enjoy the classes, staff and choice of paintings.

My husband and I signed up for Allie's printmaking workshop and had a blast in her beautiful studio right on the Hudson river. Allie started with explaining some of the history of printmaking and gave us creative instruction, before giving us plenty of time to be creative and play with the paints. We walked away with some pieces we were seriously proud of - really great experience for the price. Hope she adds more classes soon!

All of these are awesome as well!!!

I live in the town of Wassaic about 3 miles from the Wassaic Project and am so proud of what they have done. FYI. The Lantern as every local knows has the best pizza you can find outside of NYC and their bartenders are terrific. We also have a fabulous new bakery, called Vitsky Bakery, a few doors down from The Lantern. Ten Mile Distillery is in Wassaic and has excellent views, drinks and food.

Thought provoct There's a MetroNorth station within walking distance; using a GPS in the car is a little confusing. Street parking is limited. Across the tracks there is a parking lot with a $20 charge. During the festival. The main gallery is in an old granary. Their 7th floor is equivalent to a 10 story high-rise. There isn't an elevator. Wear sensible shoes. Food - near the main building are snacks. Up the road, by the green building are vendors and wine. Cash only. $$. Across the tracks is The Lantern; a quaint bar/restaurant. Their menu is limited to pizza, buffalo wings and a couple other items. The Bar has imported beers, wines and other beverages. There's a pool table. Odd that they allow children in the bar area. If you decide to visit the entire museum it is a climb up stairs; be prepared. There's no elevator.

There is plenty of parking at the building on the gravel, Also, there is additional when going in further at a football field. Past the field, there will be a sign showing that authorized vehicles can beyond that point. No threats, if you're walking that's a different story. The gravel goes a long way until reaching a building. You'll also find a couple of trails that branch off into the woods and fields, indicating different colors red, dark, and light blue, orange, black, green, and gray (main gravel trail). We did go on the red trail for a mile until we noticed it got a bit challenging. A lot of plants are covering the trail in some areas. We just stick with the gray trail the whole time. Overall, this was a great discovery to find.
