Kids Summer Art Camp
July 7-11, 9-4pm
August 4-8, 9-4pm Welcome to RiverBrink Summer Art Camp – an exciting blend of dynamic art making and fun-filled day camp. This year we are offering two separate week-long, full-day camp opportunities for children ages 6-12! Guided by a team of experienced counsellors and professional practicing artists, campers will make innovative art projects using high quality materials (all included) and develop their own unique artistic style. Participants will engage in mixed-media activities, including cartography, animation, calligraphy, drawing, collage, sculpture and more! They will also participate in guided tours of our current exhibitions and learn about artwork from our collections. |

The Garden Photo workshop
A garden can be many things; it can be a relaxing refuge, a creative outlet for learning and experimentation, a place to watch things grow, where you gather ingredients for your dinner, or a welcoming space for pollinators and birds. What meaning does your garden hold for you and what stories can you find there?
In this six-week workshop you will learn how to go beyond taking snapshots to think more deeply about how to photograph your garden and craft a compelling visual story. You do not need to have your own garden to participate, but you will need access to a public/private garden or green space for the duration of this course. All gardens and all cameras are welcome! |
