​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.
