Carnegie Museum Presents 2008 Summer Art Camps

Carnegie Museum of Art once again will hold a series of week-long summer art and architecture camps from June 16–August 15. These camps are designed for children ages 4–13. Each camp has an age-appropriate theme that involves kids in exploring the museum's collections and exhibitions as inspiration for imaginative and fun-filled creative self-expression.

Camps and workshops engage kids in a variety of media and art forms, ranging from drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture to building architectural models, creative writing, drama, and dance.

During the summer the museum also offers special gallery play dates for preschool-aged children and workshops for high school students.

Additionally, pre- and post-camp care is available for children ages 6 and up. Parents can arrange this care by the week when they register their child for camp. Pre-care is available 7:30–9:30 a.m. for $25/child/week; post-care is available from 3:00–6:00 p.m. for $50/child/week.

All camps are taught by professional artist educators with the necessary clearances to work with children. Interns and volunteers assisting the educators also have the appropriate clearances.

Child Magazine designated Carnegie Museum of Art one of the top five U.S. art museums for children recognizing the quality and creativity of the museum's children's camps and classes. -- www.cmoa.org
