The Jamestown Arts Center will hold its annual Autumn Arts Open House on Sunday, October 15 from 1-4 pm. All ages are welcome for a free, fun-filled afternoon with drop-in workshops, a gallery hunt, and cider and donuts from Hard Pressed Cider Company. 

Education Director Melinda Frederick describes, “Our studio spaces–Ceramics, Digital Arts, and Printmaking – as well as the main gallery will be activated by artist-led activities for you and your family to try out! There is something for everyone and all art-making abilities are welcome to stop by, say hi, and make art in our creative community environment!”

All activities are free and open to all ages. Drop-in participants are welcome between 1-4 pm at the JAC (18 Valley Street, Jamestown). 

The JAC offers a variety of creative learning opportunities for adults, teens and children throughout the year.
