At ArtVenture Camps children spend their day immersed in hands-on art making, cultural history, and creative problem solving. All camps include a visit to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art to learn about and be inspired by original works of art. The Museum's exceptional team of Teaching Artists include painters and sculptors, a children's book illustrator, a ceramicist, a graphic designer and an art historian who are all experienced art educators.
ArtVenture Camps take place at the Ridley-Tree Education Center at McCormick House, the Museum's off-site facility dedicated to hands-on art education for children. The site offers programs for students age 5-12 during winter and spring break, and for children age 5-14 during the summer, in an atmosphere where creativity, studio art practices, and fun combine to create an enriching experience.
