Art Class Catalog | Art Day Camp | Art Supply Lists | Kids Create Dates
Our hands-on art classes are taught by artist-teachers, and frequently inspired by art on view in the museum. We teach, inspire, challenge, prompt and encourage all ages. We love it when you make the artwork you never thought you could make. Listen in to this interview with Rachael Baldanza on Discover the Finger Lakes.

Our fabulous all-day summer art camp is designed for children ages 6–12.
They 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 about Summer Art Day Camps (pdf)

We are currently accepting applications from current college students in art, art education, or art history with a significant interest in children’s interaction with museums to earn valuable experience and possible internship credit. During our summer session and on Saturdays during the school year, the Creative Workshop has very limited openings for high school student volunteers between the ages of 16 and 21 and accepts a just few current college students as interns. We do however have available openings for 2018/2019 school year. Call or email Rachael Baldanza at 276-8956 for more information.
