Summer Art Camps at the DAI

Introduce your children to the world of art through Summer Art Camps at the DAI. Campers explore the museum with fun gallery games, new interdisciplinary art lessons, creative art projects and more. These half-day, week-long camps, taking place in June and July, are tailored to a variety of age groups and feature many different art activities.

Children will learn and get inspired by the museum’s collection and create their own masterpieces using 2D and 3D art-making techniques in our studios. Campers entering grades 1 and 2 in the fall will have fun all summer long in weekly, mixed-media art camps. 

Session 1: World Traveler (June 22 - 26) Make mixed media creations while being immersed in the exploration of Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa and more!

Session 2: Mythical and Magical (July 6 - 10) Create fantasy creatures by combining imagination and real-life animals!

Session 3: Sweet! (7/20 - 7/24) Make art that looks good enough to eat!
