Summer Arts Camp
Since 1990, the North Central Louisiana Arts Council has held annual summer arts camps throughout its five-parish area of service (Bienville, Claiborne, Jackson, Lincoln, Union). Each camp is a five-day interactive arts workshop for students who have completed one or more grades 1-6. Professional artists and arts educators teach classes in two-dimensional art (drawing, painting); three-dimensional art (sculpture, pottery, fiber arts); and drama. Each day, children learn about and experience each artistic genre in three, one-hour classroom sessions. Lessons extend beyond hands-on and interactive projects to include information about well-known artists, playwrights, and artistic movements. Students are also provided with daily snacks, and at the end of each week, students show off their work in an informal performance and art show.
Each camp takes place in a donated space Monday through Friday (9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.). Enrollment is limited to 51 students per camp to ensure that all students are able to receive individual attention.
