Sign Up Now for Art Omi Summer Camps
July and August
Spring is still around the corner but it’s all ready time to start thinking about summer camps, since the popular ones fill up fast. One of those popular camps is Camp Omi, held at The Fields Sculpture Park and visitor’s center on the grounds of Art Omi in Ghent.
Young artists are able to draw inspiration from the sculpture park and its natural surroundings. Younger children (ages 5 to 12) explore the topics: art studio, sculpture shop, music and movement, and field studies. They also swim daily and participate in studio visits with international artists-in-residence.
A separate camp is offered for teens (13 to 18) that focuses on drawing and painting, ceramics, photography, and video and creative writing in small group settings alongside experienced instructors. Other activities include swimming, sketching and sculpture studies in The Fields, and they, too, partake in studio visits with international artists-in-residence.
The camp for children runs in two week sessions, Monday–Friday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. There are three different sessions: June 20–July 1; July 5–15 or July 18-29. The teen camp runs one week only, August 1-5, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. To register or for more information, contact Sasha Sicurella by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or visit their website, where you can download registration forms and scholarship applications.
