Art in the Park

Art in the Park is an intensive summer arts program at Sharon Art Studio, designed for youth ages 11-13 with an interest in Ceramics, Mixed Media and Fine Arts. Previous experience is not required, but projects require the ability to focus, follow multi-step procedures, and a commitment to attending camp every day to experience the completion of artwork. On Fridays campers will take field trips to local arts-based organizations and institutions.
