Summer Camp: Painting (Ages 5–7)

Perfect for kids aged 5 to 7, Painting Camp is a weeklong day camp led by Kira Brought. Campers heading into kindergarten through 2nd grade will learn how to look at the world with an artist’s eye through discovery and lots of messy, 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.

Tickets are $200 ($160 for members). Reserve your spot online or with Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.
