  • Youth Art Camp: Art in Literature

    This summer’s art camp theme, Art Through Literature, is inspired by the intertwining of visual arts and literature throughout the years. Many famous works of art have been inspired by writing and literature. Conversely, many people also like to use visual arts to inform their writing. This years’ camp has a focus on a different book genre each week. So, whether your camper sculpts an out-of-this-world alien during Sci-Fi week or paints a spoooooky ghostly figure during Horror week, we are sure to have lots of fun and get messy! • Early Childhood Camps for ages 4–6 run from 9 AM to 1 PM / $150 per week • Youth Camps for ages 7–9 and 10–12 run from 9 AM to 4 PM / $200 per week
  • Children's Literature Week: June 3rd–7th

    This week of art camp is inspired by classic Children’s Literature books. We will read some story books that are elementary school staples and then base the projects we do throughout the week on some of the stories that we read. We will explore many different mediums from painting to sculpting during this week of camp.
  • Nonfiction Week: June 10th–14th

    This week of art camp will be focused on nature, animals, science, and anything inspired by the natural world around us. We will do nature journaling, cyanotypes, incorporating nature within our art, and spending lots of time outdoors during this week.
  • Fantasy Week: June 17th–21st

    This camp week will be very magical as we will be inspired by fantastical stories. Whether the inspiration comes from classic fairy tales or epic novels, we will be creating artwork with lots of fairies, dragons, castles, and anything fantastical your imagination can dream up!
  • Science Fiction Week : June 24th–28th

    This week of art camp will be laser-focused on sci-fi adventures. We will explore many artistic materials, but keep our inspiration on space travel, aliens, robots, and all of the science fiction necessities!
  • Horror Week (Halloween in July): July 8th–12th

    For this special final week of art camp, our favorite holiday is arriving early again! The children’s wing of the WKMA will be filled with Halloween decorations. We will be creating lots of art with black cats, ghosts, moons, and monsters. We wear fun outfits all week and have a fun Halloween-in-July party on Friday, complete with spooky songs and glow sticks.
