PMoA Offers Spring Break Art Camp

If you’re looking for something educational and artistic to keep the kids occupied over Spring Break, might I suggest Spring Break Art Camp at Polk Museum of Art? Participating children will rotate through three classes: Sculpture, Drawing & Painting, and Performance and Stage Craft. All of the projects will be inspired by the Museum’s Pre-Columbian art collection.

Camp is for children ages 5 - 13 and runs 9:00am - 4:30pm, March 30 - April 3. Tuition is $130 per student for Museum members or $150 per student for non-members. You can register your child by going here, or you can call PMoA at 688-5423.
