The Whistler House Museum of Art’s Youth Summer Art Program is open to children grades 5 to 8, ages 10 to 14 years. Each week-long session focuses on a different art form and combines exciting hands-on art creation with museum tours and art history discussions, connecting real works of art with the day’s activity. Professional artists and educators will direct creative and age-appropriate activities using a variety of media in the museum’s historic house, Parker Gallery, and in the adjacent Whistler Park. Local visiting artists will come to speak about their works in the week’s featured medium. Week 1 (beginning July 8) is Drawing; Week 2 (beginning July 15) is Painting; Week 3 (beginning July 22) is Printmaking/Collage; and Week 4 (beginning July 29) is sculpture. Classes will take place Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 12 Noon. Class fee is $175 per student per week. Scholarships are available for aspiring artists in the community who meet the criteria.
