Virtual Summer Camp
Mon 5 Jul 2021 10:00 AM - Fri 9 Jul 2021 2:00 PM EDT
Online, Zoom
Description
Summer Camp 2021 is virtual at Lakeshore Arts! Campers (ages 8-12) will have the opportunity to work with professional Indigenous artists and explore new art forms and techniques in a week-long day camp, from the comfort of their own homes. Morning and afternoon workshops are led by three different Indigenous artist facilitators, and together we will get creative with a variety of artistic mediums.
Campers will receive an art supply box which will contain all the art supplies needed to engage in all ten workshops throughout the week. The art supply boxes will be available for pick up from the Lakeshore Arts studio front space for contactless pick up on Wednesday June 30th.
Additional proceeds raised from registration fees will be donated once again to ArtsCan Circle which is a non-profit Indigenous organization that sends Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists to engage First Nation, Innu, Inuit and Metis youth in remote northern communities across Canada.
