Hello! This is a friendly reminder that we will be closed, and there is no camp, on Friday, July 4, 2025, in observance of Independence Day.
Summer Art Camp 2025

We start each day of art camp with a simple Tai Chi exercise as a group to facilitate mindfulness through this team-building activity. 

Explorations in Contemporary Art: 5-7 Year olds
Exciting hands-on art projects will allow young artists to have fun exploring the world of contemporary art while developing fundamental art skills, learning about new artists and new vocabulary, and meeting creative challenges.  Projects are designed to use various media including drawing, painting, mixed media, and 3-D. 

Studio Art Practice: 8-11 Yr olds  
Exciting hands-on art projects will allow young artists to have fun exploring the world of art while developing fundamental art skills, learning new vocabulary, and meeting creative challenges. Young artists will learn a variety of techniques, using a selection of media, in studio art classes taught by professional teaching artists. Students are invited to question, explore, investigate, and solve problems as they create art and learn about professional-level studio practices.  There will be opportunities to work in 2D and 3D media, including drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, and more.

Puppetry and Studio Art Practice: 5-7 Yr olds
Participants will work on a combination of puppetry and other studio art projects like printmaking, painting/drawing, and ceramics.  Each camper will have finished studio art pieces.  They will also have a finished puppet and there will be a puppet performance at the end that we invite family/friends to experience! Supplies are provided. This will be a fun and informative class for young artists/puppeteers (or just enthusiasts) who are 5-7 years old.
