Summer is coming and we have a wonderful, creative camp program for your kids and teens!
Click here to see our listing, or here to download our entire summer camp and class schedule.
We have Half-Day/Full-Day Options for many classes. Each week offers a different subject for camp goers. Curricula include separate programming for morning and afternoon camps. Most camps are open to PreK (age 4) and up through sixth grade unless otherwise indicated, and are listed for the grade students will be entering in Fall 2012. Smaller enrollment may dictate combined classes. We also have extended care options.

During the school year, ArtiCulture offers one-day art-making workshops to students, grades K – 6, during Minneapolis and/or St. Paul closed school release days. Our workshops are filled with a variety of activities tied to a theme of the day. Some examples include Myths & Magic, Optical Illusions, Printmaking and Kinetic Art. Half and full day options are available.
To register and see prices, visit the class schedule page and sign up online, or call us at 612.729.5151
Remaining days for the year include:
- Minneapolis School Release Day, Mon. May 7. Theme: pattern design / Instructor: Lucy Voller
- Three Day "End of School Camp", Wed.-Fri. June 6-8. Theme: kinetic art / Instructor: Abbey Kleinert
ArtiCulture's work is carried out because our teachers and volunteers are dedicated to its mission to educate, enrich, and nurture through the visual arts. If this mission speaks to you, we invite you to support us as a volunteer! Many of our daily operations are carried out by generous folks who generously contribute their free time and energy.
Next week - the week of April 30th - we still need about six people who are willing to distribute our summer session fliers to the schools and businesses of Minneapolis and St. Paul. We can work with any schedule - you just need to be able to pick up during business hours. Owning a car is important to this particular task. This truly is our most effective means of promoting our programming currently, so even though its not glamorous work, it's HUGELY important.
If you'd like to help, let us know by taking a quick second to fill out our volunteer application!
If you'd like to get involved but don't have time next week, take a look at our volunteer page. Summer is a great time for folks to volunteer with us as we participate in several art festivals around the Twin Cities, and begin planning our fall fundraising event. We hope to hear from you soon!
