Summer Art Camps 2022
Presented by
Summer Art Camp is back! The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is a fun and playful place for all your aspiring creatives this summer!
Each of our week-long classes will explore a range of art making techniques, materials, and ideas, from drawing and painting to three-dimensional projects and everything in between!
Local practicing artists and art educators bring their wealth of talent and experience to lead classes for children. Students will have fun and get inspired with hands-on studio activities, exploration of the Galleries, and outings around our neighbourhood. Using playful themes each week to get inspired, these week-long camps are the perfect way to engage your camper in artistic experiences this summer.
Once the camps are full we will be creating a waitlist- please email with the week(s) and number of spots you would like to be waitlisted for. Please email info.agns@novascotia.ca or call 902-424-5280 during Gallery hours for more information.
