Writing Classes in the Hudson Valley New York

MCCARTER ARTS is dedicated to promoting writing and art, connecting individuals to creative outlets, and to promoting wellness through the arts. I believe that art and writing should be accessible to all and that creativity is a process that can be learned. I work with individual learning abilities to encourage artistic expression and personal growth. I teach classes with empathy for the learner and guide them through their individual writing and creative processes.
