SummerStudio is an immersion program in the visual arts involving cultural/historical information, technical instruction and artistic production. Based upon our outstanding exhibitions, the curriculum builds from basic drawing techniques to multimedia projects over the course of an exciting five-day program. Each week students will work with exhibiting artists and professional educators in the art studio, the galleries and our 7-acre Sculpture Garden to create new projects. Small class sizes ensure individual attention and artistic development. This program is offered for ages 6-13.
