Class Experience
Our popular kids art camps burst with joy and give kiddos the opportunity to discover, create and play in a wide range of exciting art media. We work on two different projects a day (with time for free drawing) and delve into drawing, painting, mixed media, 3D works, recycled material art, and collage. Kids leave our space with giant smiles and new friends every day!
Camp projects are based on a variety of inspiring subjects and seasonal themes like the Earth and other planets, space (think aliens, robots, spaceships, stars!), architecture, our beloved Brooklyn Bridge, the natural world, fantasy worlds, travel, modern masters, portraits, pop stars, and just oh so much more.
Have a million canvases lying around from your time at camp? Bring them back to us and we’ll reuse them!
