​VIRTUAL ART CAMP
Summer Art Camps at the Pearl Fincher Museum are coming your way – virtually! The Pearl is bringing art camps to YOU and your family, in the comfort of your own home!

Our week-long camps introduce students to a variety of media and techniques throughout the week, with projects inspired by our current exhibitions. Camps are for kids ages 8-16 and include a different art project each day. Art supply kits will be provided for campers – no need to do any shopping on your own! Art projects for this camp include pastels, painting, drawing, and fabric sculpture.


Read on for more details and learn how you can register your young artist for Virtual Art Camp!
