Our Summer Art Immersion program, designed for artists ages 5-11*, provides a wonderful opportunity for students to learn new artistic techniques and explore the collections.
In addition to completing special themed projects, participants will tour the Museum’s exhibitions, explore the grounds and Sculpture Trail, and make friends with peers from around the region.
All sessions meet Monday – Friday, 9 am – 12:30 pm.
*5-year-olds must have completed kindergarten.
