A WEEK OF ARTISTIC GROWTH
Join us for a week of artistic growth, fun, and creativity at SJMA this summer! Campers gain behind-the-scenes access to the Museum's exhibitions, learn about exhibition elements, experiment with artistic processes, and participate in a student exhibition. These weekly camps offer in-depth art experiences led by SJMA's teaching artists and inspired by current exhibitions. The Museum's popular Summer Art Camps teach kids and teens how to look at, talk about, and create art.
Who and When
Weekly summer art camps are for ages 6–8, 9–11, and 12–14. Camp runs Monday through Friday, 9am–3pm, starting June 9 through July 25 (no camp the week of July 1). Each week of Teen Camp (ages 12–14) is a specialized week of unique content.
