Summer Camps

From materials to inspiration, nature shows up in art in all kinds of ways. This week, we’ll think about the connection between art and the environment as we explore the galleries. By the end of the week, you’ll be able to take home some nature-inspired artwork of your own!

This week, campers dive into the creative overlap of games, storytelling, and art. Inspired by historical artworks, they’ll invent characters, design worlds, and bring new ideas to life through hands-on projects.

Experiment with all kinds of media, from paint to paper to fabric and more! Play with materials and ideas like a true artist and take–home art inspired by the many genres and materials seen in the museum’s diverse collections.

Inspired by the museum’s collection and the upcoming exhibition DIVA, you’ll design and remake wearable or fiber-based works that reflect your perspective.
