Art Studio
This summer our Art Studio is home to our sold-out Summer Camp series. We still are offering drop-in studio time downstairs in our Learning Lab.
The Art Studio focuses on traditional art practices such as drawing, painting, multimedia sculpture, collage, and ceramics that will be fired on-site in the museum with a kiln right inside the studio. This is a space for kids, grown-ups, and visiting artists to create their own masterpieces. The Art Studio is also utilized for various museum programs and can be rented for birthday parties and events.
