Summer Art Camp for Teens (ages 13+)
Monday–Friday, 10 AM–3 PM
Teens ages 13+ will gain an in-depth studio art experience that engages their creativity and enhances their skills. Each week, teens will concentrate on two focus areas during their studio sessions. Small class size enables our talented teaching artists to take a deep dive with teens to build their techniques and individual styles.

New! The Art of Illustrative Storytelling and Jewelry Design
Monday, July 20 - Friday, July 24, 10 AM–3 PM

The Art of Illustrative Storytelling: A picture is worth far more than a thousand words! Campers will learn how to communicate a story, tone, and feeling in their art without any written text using artistic techniques such as composition, limited color palettes, shape language, and color theory. This camp is perfect for teens who want to bring their ideas and characters to life through their artwork. Using a diverse array of media, including pencils, colored pencils, inks, and colored inks, students will craft characters and narrative illustrations that jump off the page and speak for themselves.

Jewelry Design: Make wearable art! Campers will experiment with jewelry-making techniques to create pendants and bracelets of their own original designs. After starting with a sketch, the instructor will help campers use a variety of materials to create their vision. Projects may include, but are not limited to, wrapped wire pendants, polymer clay canes, and recycled paper beads.
