2025 SUMMER ARTS ACADEMY

Arts Academy History

The Arts Council’s Summer Arts Academy officially began in the Summer of 2021, as the restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic began to be lifted, and replaced the Summer Day Camp program for youth that was previously offered.

The Board of Directors and the Executive Director envisioned a more substantive youth arts program where a variety of disciplines would be offered, including, for example, drawing and painting, photography, clay, nature art, animation, fiber arts, and more. Further, the Arts Council would engage experienced artists/educators to lead these classes. And finally, the young artists (and their parents) would select the disciplines that the young artists wanted to study, rather than being required to study disciplines that might not be of interest to them.

The Summer Arts Academy is now entering its 5th season. Since its beginning, the Academy has grown in stature and popularity with parents and children alike. Course offerings have expanded, and the Board, staff, and faculty enjoy watching the students return each year, a little older and even more excited about art than the previous year.

We invite you and your family to join our family at the 2025 Summer Arts Academy!
