Camps and seminars will be offered to artists beginning at age five years old through adult with morning, afternoon, and evening classes available at the Figge Art Museum (225 W 2nd St, Davenport). Most day-camps for youth run Monday through Thursday.
In regards to the summer camps, Executive Director Bereskin stated, “We so excited to offer such a diverse catalog of hands-on art classes to our community this summer. And, we’re lucky to partner with Niabi Zoo, Three Owl Farm Equestrian Center, and QCCAN to have some four-legged models for many of our animal camps.”
Registration is available now with Member and Non-Member pricing. A full list of classes, camps, and seminars can be found on the Figge’s website at: figgeartmuseum.org/classes/classes.
