Let's make some art together this summer!
It's an exciting new program this year, with different possibilities every week, extended hours, and an early-bird discount! Each camp has options for one or two weeks, some days or every day, and full-day, mornings only, or afternoons only.
Each week, each participant will get to make their own unique, personal, art work with plenty of freedom and support. We will learn new art skills, be inspired by the world's art, and have fun being a community of artists in a relaxed, creative studio.

NEW WEEK ADDED!

9am to 4pm, with full-day, mornings only, and afternoons only options
Participants will have a chance to enjoy creating a personal, meaningful, body of artwork, that they can use for applying to Creative and Performing Arts High School (CAPA) or any other purpose. We will focus on drawing, painting, and printmaking, and also create some sculpture. Please click here for details, or scroll down this page.
Functional Art: the Art of Fine Craft
for children, tweens, and teens

9am to 4pm, with full-day, mornings only, and afternoons only options
Drawing on historical and contemporary craft traditions, we will work with clay and with cloth to make things that are both beautiful and functional. We will make dinnerware and other pottery, sew quilts and other textiles, and make other things for daily use.
Encore: Fine Art and Portfolio Intensive + Independent Projects
for children, tweens, and teens
week of August 7, with part-time and full-time options
9am to 4pm, with full-day, mornings only, and afternoons only options
This week was inspired by how wonderful the Art Intensive was earlier in the summer. Whatever their age, participants will be able to hone their technical skills, develop their artistic vision, and work on independent projects of their own choosing. Large-scale artwork will be encouraged.
