"Family and Relationships"

Join us for an exciting week of artistic discovery where young artists will explore multiple mediums and techniques in the professional art studios at Mason School of Art.

Students will experiment with diverse media such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media while developing fundamental art skills and creative confidence. Our experienced teaching artists and art education graduate students will guide children through engaging projects inspired by diverse artists and cultural practices. Each session culminates in a mini art exhibition for families.
