A Week @ the Museum Summer Camps 2023

Art speaks with lines, patterns and colours. Did you know art can portray ideas and stories? Search for stories in art and objects that inspire you. What ideas are you trying to portray in your art?

Throughout the week camp participants will explore our exhibits, including Body Language: Reawakening Cultural Tattooing of the Northwest and gain inspiration for creating their own artwork.
