Chatham Hill Arts is located on 50 beautiful, secluded acres of Columbia County, New York in the foothills of the Berkshires. It is two and a half hours from Manhattan and an hour from Tanglewood and Jacobs Pillow.

Chatham Hill Arts Director, Rose Viggiano (fine arts website), oversees these summer weekend workshops. She is a professional artist as well as an enthusiastic cook and beekeeper. She has created a program that is both nurturing and inspiring where she shares her passions and expertise with others.

In this relaxed environment experts Maria Ferrari, James Fisher, Joy Nagy and Linda Pelaccio offer instruction in Photoshop workflow, beekeeping, watercolor for beginner and intermediate students, and cooking with local Columbia County ingredients.
