Art Guild Classes On Jan. 1

The Art Guild of Port Washington is delighted to announce the resumption of classes for children and adults in January 2015.
An electrical fire at Elderfields Preserve in 2011 during Hurricane Irene forced The Art Guild to suspend all classes and activities. In September, installation of a fire alarm system allowed The Guild to once again open its doors to the public. Elderfields Historic Preserve, is located at 200 Port Washington Blvd. in Manhasset, (located on the right side when traveling south on Port Blvd., after Stonytown Road, just before St. Francis Hospital.)
The following classes and workshops will be offered for children:
• Art Explorations (ages 5-7) Thursdays 4-5:15 p.m.
