The camp provides a curriculum of creative, process- based art education to children ages 4 and up. (4)five day, 3 hour camp sessions are planned for the summer of 2016. Our young artists enjoy fun and exciting creative activities using a wide variety of media, empowering them to recognize the importance of art across cultures and in everyday living. Our instructors are accomplished artists who employ innovative as well as traditional techniques to inspire and encourage each student. Art does get messy, so be sure to have your young artist wear clothes that don’t mind a little paint and glue! Each camp session culminates in an exciting and impressive gallery exhibit of all of the young artists work in The Duncan-McAshan Visual Arts Gallery.
