Artchurch Studio Children’s Summer Camps

The Artchurch Studio is a gallery for local artists, as well as a studio for all manner of art, dance, theater, and yoga classes for children and adults. It is also home to the Menefee family, local artists who are converting and saving a Hot Springs landmark. If you haven’t yet experienced this wonderful convergence of artistic inspiration, instruction, and expression, stop by the studio on Whittington Avenue (just two blocks from Central Avenue) or visit their website at www.artchurch.org.

The Artchurch Studio will offer six summer camps designed for children ages 7 to 15. Each camp is limited to 24 children and kids are divided into classes of 6 to 8. Experienced state certified and Master teachers provide quality and inspiring instruction. Each camp focuses on a different art theme, time period, and artist. Activities include music, dance, theater, and visual arts in the time period of the artist. (See the list of camps below). Camps last for three hours per day for a week and include all supplies, snacks, and a t-shirt. Space is limited so register early.
