Summer Art Camps
- We put the Art in Summer Art Camps! Each Program is designed to spark the imagination, creativity and confidence of all young artists. We think art should be fun, educational, and tailored to each young artist. We prefer to teach techniques and give more open ended projects that allow each artist to create their own art that they can be proud of. Our Camp Schedule is completely different from week to week AND also morning to afternoon. That means young artists can choose multiple weeks throughout the summer and learn something new every time! Check the summer camps calendar to learn more!
