Creative Dramatics Workshop

Babylon Village Arts Council is proud to announce its Creative Dramatics Workshop led by instructor Laura Albert.  Educational process oriented drama program will teach 20-25 students grades 3-6 collaboration, improvisation, communication skills, creative movement and acting skills.  Participants learn to work together, stretching their imaginations as well as their bodies. At the end of this 16 session after school program, the participants will create and perform a piece for an audience on March 8th in the Babylon grade school. This program is made possible in part through BVAC.

The Babylon Village Arts Council is proud is announce an art partnership program with the Babylon High School Art Department to foster the love of art in the next generation. Two Babylon High School students, Paula Romero Anna Schipf and Jacob Von Eeuhaut will create works of arts with supplies provided by the Babylon Village Arts Council in the amount of $200 per student. Under the guidance of Cheryl Schweider,  art teacher at Babylon High School,  students will learn time management skills, budget constraints, and  design options. To experience a real life art exhibit each participant exhibited their work at the 11th Annual Outdoor Art show entitled “Art by the Falls” on May 19, 2018 in Argyle Park which provided interaction with the public.  Their work will be displayed at Sterling National Bank as part of the Rotational Art Program.  This program is funded through membership and donations.  If interested in sponsoring this program for next year, consider becoming a member. Keeping the arts in the forefront benefits the community in positive ways and fosters a love for the arts for all ages.

On Friday, Nov. 13, The Babylon Public Library held a reception to thank the Bell family for their donation of a baby grand piano. The Friends of the Babylon Library and the Babylon Village Arts Council were also instrumental in the transportation and restoration of the piano.

This project is evidence of a partnership between three community groups to restore  and transport a beautiful piano for the Babylon community.

I want to thank our members for their continued support and though your support  this project was made possible for the Babylon community.
