Big Ideas for Little Artists

January 5–9

9 AM–3:30 PM

Our camps introduce young artists to large-scale, abstract, and minimalist art in a playful and approachable way. We lean into what the kids are naturally capable of and provide the technology and materials to elevate it into beautiful works of modern art, because BIG art isn’t just for grown-ups.
