"Hooray for May!," The Center's first free family art day, was a great success! On May 10th over 300 children, accompanied by parents and grand parents, made silly sculptures, painted rocks, zentangles, felt bracelets and Mother's Day cards, wove on hula hoop "looms" and participated in banner-making with artist Dan Fenelon. Familes also enjoyed gallery tours of the "Soft" exhibit led by Trustee Wes Sherman.

Thank you to the Hooray for May! Co-chairs, committee
members and volunteers, and The Center's Board of Trustees for coming together to create this wonderful first time event. A special thank you goes to Investors Bank for their generous sponsorship support, and to the many other business and in-kind sponsors who supported the event.

Registration is ongoing for The Center's popular weekly summer art camps which begin June 30th and run for nine weeks through August. Certain weeks are always more popular than others, and many week-long specialty camps are nearly full! 

Summer Art Camps at The Center are designed to stimulate creative expression through theme-based art projects and activities that change each week. Students engage in two-and three-dimensional creative exploration through painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, mixed media, and more.

 The Center also offers the area's only week-long summer art camps in ceramics in a new state-of-the-art studio. Students will develop wheel-throwing, hand-building and glazing skills. 

Teen Summer "intensives" allow artists 13 years old and above at all levels of expertise to develop or fine tune skills through an in-depth exploration of a single medium or genre including drawing, ceramics, graffiti, photography, animation, oil painting and fashion design. Evening classes are also offered for teens.

Give your child or grandchild a creative summer to remember!
