BOLD CITY ART: June 15-19 AND July 13-17
Explore the landscape, culture, and local art scene of Jacksonville for inspiration to create bold mixed media works of art. Campers will interact with some of Jacksonville’s most notable contemporary artists to learn how they do their professional practice.

Kick it old school by looking to the past to learn about artists and movements of the 1960s and 70s that will inspire your own retro creations.
