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 teens how to look at, talk about, and create art.
SJMA's summer art camp pairs creative exploration of art materials and processes led by experienced gallery teachers and studio art educators with enhanced creative growth opportunities.
