Stories that are told by art survive the ages. For centuries, art has been created to communicate tales about the artist, their home, their personal journey, their way of life and traditions, thoughts and ideas. These are the stories that endure. Using all different media, children will tell their very own stories through art while they learn to express their unique points of view, imagination, ideas and emotions through artistic expression. Teachers will use both icons of the past as well as present artists on display at the center as inspiration. This summer at the Quinlan, we want to learn about your art story!

The long winter break was anything but boring! A fun group of kids ages 5-14 joined us at the Quinlan for our first ever MINI-Art Camp. Brought to you by the same minds that make each summer unforgettable, kids created one-of-a-kind artworks in all types of media.

Art Camp, 2007: The Art of Nature 

From the very first cave painting, nature has been a recurring theme in art around the world. No matter the current fashion in the art community, the natural world remains a constant source of inspiration. Art Camp 2007 The Art of Nature focused on the importance of nature in the art world and campers created imaginative and inspired works of art that echo the beauty of the out doors.
