Creativity Doesn’t Have to Take a Summer Break

Spend your summer making art, trying new materials, and connecting with other creative teens. This open studio style program offers a mix of individual projects, collaborative group artworks, creative challenges, and opportunities to explore a variety of artistic processes. Throughout the session, students will work alongside professional teaching artists and visiting guest artists who will share their skills, techniques, and creative perspectives.

Whether you’re interested in ceramics, painting, drawing, mixed media, digital art, or simply looking for a place to create, Teen Art Club is a welcoming space to experiment, build confidence, and develop your artistic voice. No prior experience is required. Just bring your curiosity and creativity.
