Art & Photography Summer Camps

Explore the many facets of visual art and photography through traditional techniques as well as digital technology. These enriching and inclusive weekly summer camps and programs are presented in collaboration with George Mason University’s School of Art.

Young children and teens ages 6 – 18 will have the opportunity to learn from university professors and professional teaching artists in the same classroom spaces where the college students learn and create their art! These programs will focus on both artistry and skill building with other like-minded young artists.
