Welcome to Riverside Art Workshops, a hidden gem in The Hudson Valley.

We offer small, intimate, and intensive workshops where you can get to know our artists personally, and you can actually see and participate in their demos from only a few feet away. Our artists can work with you individually for a wonderful learning experience that you'll treasure for a lifetime.

We're located in Balmville, NY, a lovely, quaint section by The Hudson River in the town of Newburgh. We are happy to offer you art workshops in the comfort of our private studio which has breathtaking, panoramic views of the Hudson River reaching from Poughkeepsie to West Point.

Workshops are offered with contemporary, world renowned, professional artists in a warm and welcoming environment. We primarily host watercolor workshops but some classes are mixed media.

Some of the features of our workshops are:

Small groups usually 8 to 12 students 

Studio and Plein air instruction to students of all levels, from beginners to advanced

Daily demonstrations in a well lit and well-equipped studio

One table for each student

Convenient location from NY, CT, NJ and PA

Generous lunch menu to order

Welcome gift

Because we keep the number of student to teacher ratio smaller, allowing for a better one on one experience, our workshops fill up quickly.

Riverside Art Workshops is a great destination trip for your workshops! The Hudson Valley offers many beautiful sites & historical places to visit.
