Since 1998, Katonah Art Center has been described as Northern Westchester's go-to hub for artistic learning and offers classes for all ages and levels across almost every facet of the visual arts. Its newly renovated space includes two large painting studios, a sunny kids studio, a pottery studio with ten wheels, a hand-building studio, a digital art studio, and a specialty studio for glass and metal, as well as the KAC Pottery Annex with 10 pottery wheels, hand-building and glazing studios, and a studio for kid's clay classes. The faculty consists of professional working artists, many of whom have been exhibited nationally, featured in art magazines, or have published books in their areas of expertise. Katonah Art Center states that beginners and accomplished artists can learn, broaden, and explore their skills there, and it is known for a warm, supportive environment. The KAC Master series includes workshops such as Painting from Life with Mary Beth McKenzie, whose paintings and monotypes are in the permanent collections of more than fifteen museums.
Parents and students have shared comments such as, “We consider the Katonah Art Center one of the town's best treasures,” and “A professional experience for all ages!” One parent notes that a seven-year-old has attended since age three and has studied cartooning, drawing, painting, and clay sculpture in what the parent describes as a safe and nurturing environment. Another adult student describes Katonah Art Center as offering encouraging, inspiring teachers, a variety of classes, flexible schedules, and interesting and friendly classmates, and calls it a “second home.” One testimonial calls it “a rare place that has both quantity and quality—any true artist's dream.” The program lists Awards & Affiliations, with details not specified.
