Create Projects in an Open, Fun Environment
Create Campers use design-thinking processes to explore the fields of art, architecture, and design. Our camps introduce a variety of materials and concepts—evoking curiosity and honing critical thinking—while encouraging individual creativity and self-expression. Create Camps teach kids how to look at, talk about, and create art!
Look at Artwork in the Museum
Create Camps look at art, architecture, and design objects in our galleries–and in our vaults! All camps include behind-the-scenes vault experiences to look, listen, and learn about artworks–to inspire art-making in the studios!
Learn from Teaching Artists
Our Teaching Artists are experienced artists, architects, and designers! Teaching Artists connect the processes and concepts behind artwork in the museum with age-appropriate projects and techniques.
View our Daily Blog
Our blog highlights what campers see, learn, and make. Our blog is updated daily with images of artworks viewed, content covered, and projects made (and in progress!). The blog includes “Questions for Campers,” designed to spark dialogue about each day.
