AGNES Art Camp at Home
Agnes Art Camp at Home provides a welcoming camp experience over four weeks in July.
Agnes art educators and assistants guide small groups of campers in process-based artmaking and interpretation, through short creative bursts in both the morning and afternoon. New and exciting themed activities are planned for each week such as sculpture, drawing, painting and collage, all using safe and non-toxic supplies provided in the Agnes art kit. Online field trips to see the Agnes art collection will inspire creativity and learning. Campers finish the week with a virtual art exhibition to celebrate their artistic exploration.
Each day is led by three experienced facilitators and the camp size is kept small with a maximum of 14 campers ages 6–12. Parental guidance is welcome, but not mandatory.
For children, 6–12 years
Monday–Friday, 9–10:30 am and 1–2 pm
$100/week, art kit included
Art supplies are included in the cost of the camp and kits are available for curb-side pickup each Friday before the camp starts from 11 am to 5 pm. In special circumstances, delivery may be requested with an added shipping fee. In order to participate in Agnes Art Camp at Home, campers will need access to a stable internet connection, a free Zoom account, a computer, laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone and a dedicated space to make art.
