Program Information
Foosaner Art Museum's unique summer art camps for kids emphasize learning through direct observation of art and thoughtful art activities designed by professional art instructors and inspired by current exhibitions and the permanent collection.
Each of the summer art camps introduces students to the fundamental concepts of art and also to some of the ideas and techniques explored by humankind: from early pre-historic to contemporary art. Each week, campers explore the concepts and techniques of art, discover the various ways to use them, and create individual masterpieces as well as collaborative group projects at the Renee Foosaner Education Center. Instructor-led tours of the gallery, brainstorms with local artists and class discussion further enrich the experience.

Each week, art campers accompanied by their instructors explore a vibrant theme, tour the museum galleries and learn from local artists. Then they create their own inspired artwork in the Renee Foosaner Education Center studios. Students will work on both individual and group projects, including a large scale collaborative project to be unveiled at the Student Art Show following the end of camp!
Camps run each week, Tuesday through Friday. Each week is structured in half day camps (AM and PM) so that students can create a “mix and match” schedule to explore different types of art and activities from week to week.
