Main St, near the Glove Theater. The organization hosted its first open house Sept. 19 with a free lesson in drawing an apple in chalk pastel. The Oct. 17 ?Spooky Art Open House? will feature two main activities: a free lesson in drawing and shading an iconic image of Frankenstein and a craft where children 3 and up can build and decorate a paper haunted house. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. The Frankenstein drawing lesson will be offered to adults and children 9 and up at 4:15, 4:45 and 5:15 p.m. It will be based on the face of the monster portrayed by Boris Karloff in the 1931 film, Frankenstein. Participants can choose to follow the guided lesson from scratch or with a half-face template to assist them. Light refreshments will be available at the open house, as well as Halloween treats while supplies last. Reservations for the lesson are appreciated to ensure adequate supplies.

The third-floor art space at Schine Memorial Hall, as well as renovated restrooms, a small kitchen and a large room to be used for a museum, were made possible in part by a grant to improve downtown Gloversville.
