RiverWalkArt

Explore Nature . . . Ignite Your Creativity!

RiverWalkArt is a new program created for the Kathryn W. Davis RiverWalk Center in Sleepy Hollow, NY, designed to encourage people to unleash their imaginations and creativity through exploration, discovery, and observation, all while learning about the natural world around them. It is a exciting collaboration between the Hudson River Valley Environmental Education Institute (HRVEEI) and Strawtown Studio, a Rockland-based initiative known for engaging art and science programming.
