🎨 Summer Art ClubSummer Art Club is a four-day creative experience designed just for kids to explore, experiment, and express themselves through art. Held August 10&ndash;13 and led by the talented team at MWMurals, this program invites young artists of all skill levels to dive into hands-on projects in a supportive, encouraging environment. Each day is filled with opportunities to play with color, texture, and technique&mdash;whether that&rsquo;s painting, drawing, or mixed media. Younger children, ages 6-10, (10 am&ndash;12 pm) will focus on guided exploration and imaginative play, while older kids, 11-14, (2&ndash;4 pm), will have space to build skills, develop ideas, and create more detailed pieces. Beyond just making art, Summer Art Club is about confidence, creativity, and connection. Kids are encouraged to try new things, take creative risks, and celebrate their unique perspective&mdash;no perfection required, just curiosity and a willingness to create. The week culminates in a special public Art Show on August 14 from 12&ndash;2 pm, where friends, family, and the community are invited to view and celebrate the artists&rsquo; work. It&rsquo;s a chance for kids to see their creations displayed and feel the pride of sharing what they&rsquo;ve made. More details coming soon, including registration information and what to expect each day. We can&rsquo;t wait to create with you! By registering, you help Phelps Arts Center carry out its mission of enriching our community through accessible, engaging art experiences for all.
