Summer Art Camps at Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum
Courtesy of a grant from the Johnny Burke Children's Foundation, art camps at the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum this summer will be affordable for more youth. Up to ten full scholarships are available to students who demonstrate financial need.
"The Johnny Burke Children's Foundation's generous gift makes it possible for the Museum to offer ten full scholarships to youth in the Great Lakes Bay Region for the summer art camp program," said Marilyn Wheaton, Museum Director. "This is the fifth year we have hosted the art camps and kids love it!" she said. New this year, a session for 14 to 18 year olds has been added in June.
Starting Monday, June 10 the Museum will host five art camps for children ages 8 to 18. The classes will be taught by SVSU art education majors, Tara Parker and Beth Hazen, and will focus on sculpting, drawing, and painting projects, while exploring different cultures and well known artists. Each class is limited to 12 children; there are both one- and two-week sessions.
