Get matched →The Wassaic Project hosts two free after-school art programs for local students: Junior Varsity (grades 6–8) and Varsity (grades 9–12) art clubs. Both clubs meet twice a week throughout the school year in the Maker Space, culminating in group shows in the fall and spring. The program emphasizes creative problem solving, social-emotional skill development, and student-driven, project-based learning. Students who graduate from the Varsity program have the opportunity to enter an internship program with the Wassaic Project and receive tailored support for future goals, including career discussions, college recommendations, and professional connections.
The Maker Space is funded by Dutchess County’s Learn, Play, Create grant program. The after-school clubs are partially funded by Dyson Foundation, Duchess After-School Challenge Grant of the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, Dutchess County Community Grants Fund of the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, Northeast Dutchess Fund of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, Foundation for Community Health, The Cowles Charitable Trust, the A G Foundation, NYS OCFS, and Dutchess County’s APG grant programs, and local private foundations.
