This year we have developed new age-relevant deep dives into the world of visual art. Our youngest artists, Ages 6-9, will LOVE our themed camps such as Superhero week or Paper Picassos in our weekly half-day programs. Our budding artists, Ages 9-14, will enjoy an Immersive Artist Studio or exploration of specialize areas such as graphic design in our week or two-week programs. Our Serious Young Artist will dive into painting & drawing, collage & printmaking, or cartoon and stop-motion animation in these 2-week intensive programs.
Whether it’s for one week, two weeks or the whole summer, they’re sure to have fun while expanding their knowledge of the broad and diverse world of art.
