Explore It! Youth Barn Studio Camp

Young artists will dive into an exciting week of artistic discovery, hands-on projects, and skill-building in this immersive studio camp. Each day, campers will explore different mediums, movements, and artists, gaining inspiration from art history while developing their own unique styles.

From plein air painting and figure drawing to sculpting, printmaking, and photography, campers will experiment with a variety of techniques and materials, keeping a sketch journal to track their progress. Each morning begins with a technique warm-up and introduction to the day’s medium, preparing them to create bold, expressive works of art.

Throughout the week, students will build a personal portfolio, learning how to mount and display their work in preparation for our end-of-week Exhibition & Art Awards Reception. Family and friends are invited to celebrate their artistic achievements on Friday from 11 AM - Noon!
