SOCIAL DISTANCING POLICY
As we re-open our doors for summer classes, your safety and well-being are most important to us. Rest assured that we will be following all Federal, State & University of Rochester protocols.
Our hands-on art classes are taught by artist-teachers, and frequently inspired by art on view in the museum. Since 1949 we have been teaching, inspiring, challenging, and encouraging all ages. We love to help you make the artwork you never thought you could make.
Registering now for Summer 2020
Our fabulous 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.
Summer Art Day Camp info is now available! Registration is open for all full day art, clay and art & writing camps. Registration begins May 18 for half Day Camps and classes for kids and teens.
We are all at home – why not have fun sharing art? Your Creative Workshop friends Emily & Rachael have kept many, many sketch books in their lives. As they were recently looking through old journals & sketchbooks, they thought about creating a new version ~ a 30 day challenge of sorts, curating and sharing YOUR work! We’ll offer some prompts for inspiration – you share your art with us and we’ll post to our social media. Have fun, be nice, make it family friendly art & share it with us.
1 – Emily & Rachael are committed to participating in all 30 challenges & helping others with any questions
2 – All entries can be submitted digitally if:
3 – Please send up to two original creative works in separate emails to Creative Workshop and include your name, the prompt that inspired the work, and a title if you have one.
For ages 2–6 with accompanying adult. | $15 per session | 11 am-noon
