Our Picks: A Fun, Inspiring, In-Person Art Camp for Kids

Summer Art Camp is back at the Visual Art Center and is going to be better than ever with safe, creative, and most importantly, fun, in-person camp experience. Each week, talented teaching artists help campers make both 2D- and 3D-projects that utilize a variety of media, which can include painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and mixed-media. Their camp provides campers with individual art supply bags and is keeping class sizes small—which means greater social distancing and even more attention from teachers and counselors.
