 What is at the art studio?

Ben's Jammin' Art Projects studio is a community project.

The artists and musicans that are involved will determine the classes. So come be involved, creative people!

We will have fun with music;

Creative music time where people of all ages can have fun making a "joyful" noise with an assortment of instruments.

Parent and child music time, this involves music and movement.


ART

Creative art time - come to the studio and paint, make jewelry, play with clay. Get messy, be creative.

Classes that will be taught will be sewing, clay, painting, drawing, and many more.

 Classes are low cost.


Birthday Parties

Invite up to 10 children for a cost of only $150. Each additional child is $12.

Create a mix media picture on canvas, design a mask, make jewelry, or paint at your birthday party. Each party is created with the birthday child in mind. We listen to their favorite music, make their choice of art, dance, play with musical instruments if they desire and play with musical instruments.

Have your birthday party here and for every 10 parties one party will be donated to a child whose parents could not afford one on their own. *special requirements.


  We can come to you, or hold parties at a park if you are interested.

 Quotes

If you hear a voice within you say, you cannot paint, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.    Vincent Van Gogh

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.     Billy Joel

  • 9 a.m Registration
  • 10 a.m Walk begins
  • Between 12:30 and 1 p.m.  Talent Show begins

On Saturday, May 28, Ben’s Jammin’ Art Project is organizing a Walk-a-thon and Talent Show to kick off a county -wide musical instrument and art supply drive. The instruments and art supplies collected will be strategically distributed to public and private schools, local music lesson facilitators, art rooms, and youth who have a passion for the arts but not the means.  Money raised will repair donated instruments, buy additional supplies, and provide lessons. 

The Albany High school marching band will lead the walk. Elementary through high school-aged musicians will entertain throughout the day.  The music and art tents will be active for all to enjoy from 11-3.  In addition, there will be food, local crafters, and artists. It will be a fun family day held at the grounds of the NYS Training Academy at 1134 New Scotland Rd., Albany.

Ben’s Jammin’ Art Project Benefit Concert

What a great time of music, art, and friends!!

BJAP held a benefit concert featuring 5 different bands (George Williams and Friends, Gomni, Joe Lowry and the Second Miles Blue Band, Comhaltas, and Dan Hogan).  The Albany Fire and Police Departments demonstrated fire and bicycle safety. In addition there was a farmers market, food vendors,  raffles with prizes donated from local businesses, bouncy and fun rides, and hands on art and music for the children.

This one day of fun produced  lasting fun for many students.  Eleven  instruments were donated that day and are now in use in the Albany Public Schools. We also received enough crafts to fill 8 boxes. We donated 6 boxes to the Albany Girls and Boys Club and 2 to Mount Moriahs Girls club.

From the proceeds of the day we were able to pay for a lawyer to incorporate Ben’s Jammin’ Art Project as a 501 (C) (3) non-profit status.

 

A Big Thank You to Everyone who came out and supported us!!!
