Alexandria Museum of Art Summer Camps (To-Go)

This summer, the Alexandria Museum of Art is painting the way with three sessions of creative virtual camps for kids. These half-day camps provide campers with dynamic, art-centered experiences that will entertain and challenge your and creative thinkers who are interested in art. With each registration, campers will receive a box of supplies for a week’s worth of projects, written lesson plans, video instruction, and access to AMoA’s Virtual Artroom to interact with the certified art instructors and other campers. Projects can be completed without a computer. A webcam with internet access is required to participate in the secure Virtual Artroom. Campers ages 6-9 meet from 9 am-noon; campers ages 10 and older meet from 1-4 pm. $100 for AMoA members; $150 for non-members. Sign up this June at themuseum.org for these July options:

July 13-17: Muddy Magic: With lessons ranging from hand-building to ceramic sculpture, campers will enjoy working with Nancy Noles and getting their hands dirty while making creative works of ceramic art using air dry clay. Each day will focus on a different project that can be painted when dry. Deadline to register: June 17.

July 20-24: Gallery Groove: Campers will participate in fanciful, imagination-stretching art activities inspired by the art in AMoA’s galleries. Campers will create two dimensional and sculptural works with the guidance of Cindy Blair in the virtual classroom and galleries. Deadline to register: June 25.

July 27-31: Artistic Upcycling: Join retired art educator Brenda Howell to make a range of projects from assemblage to textured sculptural works using found and collected objects. Campers will be encourage to reflect on the environment as well as ways to represent themselves as artists. Deadline to register: July 2.
