The Mayflower Arts Center is entering their third season of 18+ exciting camps for young artists this summer! Each art camp is designed to heighten the imaginations of young artists through creative and technical exploration. Artists will incorporate the techniques they learn through both individual and collaborative works. At the conclusion of the camp, each artist will have the opportunity to present and exhibit their creations in a Gallery Exhibit/Artist Reception on Friday evening from 5:00-6:00pm. The Gallery Exhibit will be open to the public. Friends and families are always encouraged to attend.
They offer two separate 4-day tracks — every week — for 9 weeks, starting June 16th. Morning art camps (9am-noon) are for children ages 5-9 and afternoon art camps (1-4pm) are for children ages 10+.
Camp week runs Tuesday-Friday.
The Mayflower Arts Center offers a very hands on instruction experience, so they limit each camp to 15 artists.
