On Mondays, the younger children will make wreaths and the older children will create platters and bowls from coiled magazines.  On Tuesdays, the children will study and make monograms inspired by Albrecht Durer.  On Wednesdays, the youth will create balsa wood or colograph prints also inspired by Albrecht Durer, on Thursdays participants will create folded books sculptures inspired by Nick Georgiou.  On Fridays, children will complete and critique their work and display their work for family and friends.

Summer Art Camp 2013 is supported in part by grants from the Nebraska Arts Council /Nebraska Cultural Endowment, the United Way of Nebraska City, and the generosity of many Otoe County individuals and organizations.

What you can do: 

• Register - Download a registration form for your student and return it by 7/3/13.
• Donate - Summer Art Camp costs about $100 per child and registration fees are just $45 per child/$80 per family.  After registration fees and  grants from the NE Arts Council and United Way, we still need local support of about $37.50 per child to provide an art camp experience for 80 local children each summer.  Many families in our community cannot afford the registration fee and need to apply for scholarships.   
• Share Art Supplies - Many recycled items will be used in the Print Rehab Camp this summer.  See the list below and contact us at 873-6343 if you have supplies to share.
