The Art School at Old Church is a nonprofit, nonsectarian art school and gallery serving Demarest and the surrounding Bergen County region in New Jersey. It runs studio art classes, hosts gallery exhibits, and organizes cultural events, with the aim of improving the community's quality of life through education and cultural programming. The organization serves individuals seeking hands-on art instruction and opportunities to experience contemporary artistic work in a community setting. Founded in 1974 by a group of artists and friends, it began in a restored 19th-century church building and established itself as a cultural resource center. The school is based at 561 Piermont Road in Demarest and continues to offer educational and cultural offerings to the local and regional community. As a nonprofit entity, its programs emphasize educational and cultural enrichment rather than commercial activity.
