Get your smocks and brushes ready—this summer, we’re painting up a storm!
At this week-long day camp led by the museum’s art instructors, campers will learn how to look at the world with an artist’s eye through discovery and lots of colorful, creative fun. We’ll explore paintings in Crystal Bridges’ collection, then head back to the studio to turn acrylics and watercolor paints into portraits, landscapes, and abstract art.
Your growing artists will have a blast creating, making friends, and trying new things, and you’ll love that they’re learning about art and culture every step of the way.
