The Wallkill River School is now offering art classes taught by local professional
artists at two new spaces in addition to its Montgomery gallery and school. Classes start in February at the Seligmann Estate,
in Sugar Loaf. This lovely estate sits nestled across from Lycian Theater near King’s Highway. The offices of the Orange
County Citizens Foundation and the Orange County Arts Council are located in Seligmann, which was the home and studio of the
late Kurt and Arlette Seligmann. Kurt Seligmann was a Swiss-born world-renowned surrealist artist and author who immigrated
with Arlette to New York just prior to World War II. The 55-acre farm where they worked and lived has been restored in keeping
with Arlette’s wishes. Kurt’s studio is the Wallkill River School’s classroom. www.OCCF-NY.org (directions and map online) Also the Wallkill River School will offer
