Summer Day Camps
Extended care is available daily for $5 per student per care session for all camps (7:30 – 9 am or 4 – 5:30 pm). All participants must bring a sack lunch, beverage, and afternoon snack each day.
MARVELOUS MULTIPLES
Discover ways artists take single objects, ideas, or images and multiply them to create wonderful works of art! Visit the Main Meredith Gallery in the museum to see the installation work of Tara Donovan. In her work, Donovan takes a household item, such as a toothpick, and uses thousands of them to create an installation. Use many small objects to make a print on fabric. Explore the work of Andy Goldsworthy and create your own nature project. Dabble in different forms of printmaking after viewing the show Before Anime in the print gallery. After this day camp you may be seeing double, triple, or more!
