To further celebrate the De’VIA exhibition coming to MAG, the Creative Workshop will introduce three new courses designed for deaf and hard of hearing kids and adults. See more information about our new art classes taught in ASL for deaf and hard of hearing people.
Our fabulous all-day school break and summer art camps are designed for children ages 6–12. Kids enjoy high quality (and very fun) art projects, visits to the museum to see original works of art, lunch breaks, and daily recreation breaks.
Two age groupings—6–8 (junior) and 9–12 (senior)—allow kids to learn about art techniques, strategies, and materials as they make art they can be proud of. learn more
