In-Person Summer ART FUN.
Calling creative kids and teens for the BEST SUMMER OF ART in New York City! All kids and teens will love NYC’s #1-rated art studio summer art program that is filled with inspiring artistic expression, learning new drawing, painting and art techniques, encouraging top-notch art instruction with warm and nurturing professional artists, and the joy of social connection with like-minded friends! All are welcome in our art studio’s supportive and non-judgemental in-person, small group, CREATIVE camp-style summer art program for kids and teens of all ages and artistic levels, total beginners included!
With New York City’s energy, artists, culture, nature, museums, architecture, and diversity as our muse, our camp-style summer art programs for kids and teens will be the highlight of summer! We offer TWO separate summer art program choices in two different locations, both include a combination of indoor and outdoor creative summer FUN.
We never repeat an art project twice, so that your child can continue to enjoy multiple weeks of our art studio program all summer long!
Small Groups. Great Vibes. Safety First.
Safety and health are always our top priority, especially during COVID times. With both indoor and outdoor summer art “camp style” options, we always keep our kids art summer groups small. Groups are created based on age and include Ages 5-11 (indoor) and 6-11 (outdoor) (both often split into two age groups for younger and older children). Teens ages 12-18 form their own private group and meet separately from younger kids. Our NYC art studio’s exceptional art educators guide each child to learn, explore and celebrate their authentic self-expression while creating diverse styles of artwork. All of our in-person NYC art instructors and staff are fully vaccinated and boosted. Our art studio follows all current COVID rules and regulations for New York City, and all art class and art program participants are expected to do the same.
Summer art program participants will experiment and create personalized artwork with art supplies and techniques such as pencil sketching, color pastel painting, watercolor painting, collage and mixed-media adventures, still life, color pencil sketching, personalized art journaling and sketchbook art, landscape art, figurative art, portraiture, comics and manga, fear-free drawing, painting tricks and hacks, personal style, mark making, shading, composition, art history fun facts, and much, much more.
