SUMMER NATURE ECO-ART CAMP
Monday July 1st through Friday July 5th
& Art Gallery Showcase on Saturday July 6th
Christopher & Sarena Doucette both have art backgrounds at university level & will be inspiring & guiding artists ages 2 & up through a week long summer nature & art adventure exploring the topics of drawing, painting, sculpting, collaging, nature art & photography. The purpose of this week of workshops is to empower each young person to become an artist & also advance as the artist they already are.
Through the 5 days of art class workshops, the main achievement is to allow expression through the various mediums by discovering what they are most passionate creating & in doing so connecting to a deep part of their heart & soul. By the end of the week, there will be an art gallery to showcase each child's works of art as well as bring home timeless keepsake creations & new gifts for the family. Each artist will have their own gallery of art to take home.
​
Come create at Manos de Luz Community Empowerment Center!
