2024 Arts @ Large Viewfinders Summer Camp – Registration Opens 4/2/24
In photography, a viewfinder is a small window the photographer looks through to see what a photo will look like before they capture it. When we look at a piece of art we are often tempted to try and see the work through the creator’s viewfinder.
At the A@L Viewfinders Summer Camp young artists will explore multiple arts mediums, perspectives, and careers in the arts to inspire them to use their personal viewfinder. These young artists will stretch the boundaries of the learning process and become immersed in creative flows of various art forms and the meaning of their works.
Registration is FREE thanks to funders MKE REC and Bader Philanthropies. Breakfast and lunch will be provided daily.
