Art Summer Camp
Art Summer Camp – Welcome Packet (Summer 2026)
A newly launched camp focused on energetic, exciting, and active-based art programming.
Welcome to the inaugural year of the UIC School of Art & Art History Art Summer Camp. This program is designed to provide hands-on art experiences in an active studio environment that supports curiosity, creativity, skill-building, and confidence through making. Campers will work through structured studio blocks led by licensed K–12 art educators, with time for collaboration, reflection, and a family showcase at the end of the week.
