Begins June 27
An entire new creative experience can awaken a laid-back spirit and the varied world of art offers a surprising beginning. The excitement of completing a drawing, painting a design on a discarded bottle:or becoming a buddy with a stone that becomes a tiny frog. All forms of adventure that kids attending “Kids Art Camp” might well experience.
The annual program, sponsored by Clinton County Arts Council, offers a series of classes introducing youngsters to various projects beginning in late June and runs through early October under the guidance of artists accomplished in their field.
