UPSTATE ART WEEKEND (UPAW) is a connective annual event, for residents and tourists alike, celebrating the cultural vibrancy of Upstate New York. The fifth edition of UPAW will take place Thursday, July 18, through Sunday, July 21, 2024, spanning ten counties in the Catskills Mountains and Hudson Valley.
Join us on Thursday July 18 at 10am to kick off Upstate Art Weekend with a cyanotype workshop! Transform discarded objects into a beautiful blue print with help from the sun.
Limited to 10 participants.
In this beginner-friendly workshop on Sunday July 21 as part of Upstate Art Weekend, artist and printmaker Allison Belolan will introduce you to the expressive potential of relief printmaking using Soft-Kut blocks and safe-wash ink.
In this inspiring and impactful talk and interactive discussion, Naomi Vladeck illuminates what is possible when we use our creative skills to transform our fear into outcomes that excite us.
Sharing stories from her own experience with big life change, and from artists she has interviewed, she explores what artists can teach us about activating the creative process inside of life's biggest changes.
If you are grappling with uncertainty, wanting to make a change or are in the midst of a transition of any kind, this event experience is for you!
You’ll leave with clarity about your relationship to change as well as the proof of your courage to take risks even when the path ahead is unclear.

Let's discuss The Personal Librarian - bring questions, comments and connect with other Yellow Studio Members over this fascinating read. Hosted by Fran Hauser & Emily Winograd Leonard.
A remarkable novel about J. P. Morgan's personal librarian, Belle da Costa Greene, the Black American woman who was forced to hide her true identity and pass as white in order to leave a lasting legacy that enriched our nation, from New York Times bestselling authors Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray.
Join us on Thursday August 1 at 6pm for a fun evening of catching up with friends and meeting new women in our community.
This is a potluck-style event! Please bring a favorite dish or sweet treat to share.
Okay, so we're not starting a Breakfast Club at Yellow Studio (yet)...but with everyone's busy summer schedules we want to invite all of our Clubs to come together for breakfast. In other words, a breakfast for all of our Members. We can talk about the books we're reading, do some thoughtful networking, exchange ideas about the creative projects we're into and share tips on how to sustainably approach summer in Westchester. Yep that covers all of our Clubs.
Join us for coffee, breakfast bites by 351 Bakery and conversation about all the things.
For Yellow Studio Members. Please RSVP. This is a FREE event.
Join us for Writing Club on Wednesday August 7 and Thursday August 22 at 10am.
This TWICE monthly writing group is a mix of writing, talking about writing connecting over a desire to write more and share our words, and anything else that comes up in the process. Sharing is always optional, and you get to choose what (if any) feedback you get from the group.
Bring your coffee/breakfast and favorite writing tools!
