Community Workshops at Wheatley Farms and Arts Center

Thomas S. Gulotta Wheatley Farms & Arts Center

While our website is under construction, we would like to thank AHRC Nassau for hosting and sharing our fledgling programming…..

Welcome! Thank you for visiting and wanting to learn more about our Center.  While we are in-between construction phases, we are creating classes that promote mindfulness, learning, engagement with nature and animals, creativity and the arts for all to enjoy. Our intention is to create a Center that will bring members of the community together based on shared interests to learn, engage and connect.
