Winter ArtVenture Camps: Enroll Now!

California Calling
December 21 - 24, 2009
9am – 3pm
From Bay Area Funk to LA Pop Surrealism: be inspired by the artists in the Museum’s exhibition California Calling and create your own art that is inventive, eccentric and non-conformist!

Magic Makeover
December 28 – 31, 2009
9am – 3pm
Explore change as a concept in art in a variety of creative art projects inspired by the Monarch Butterfly Project video installation by Diana Thater on view at the Museum.


In the first week campers will follow the call of the exhibition California Calling and draw funky whimsical animals like Roy de Forest, collage poetically like William Dole, and pour a plaster sculpture inspired by ceramicist Peter Voulkos.
The second week leading to New Years will be all about change and transformation as our young budding artists will paint large scale self-portraits, draw cartoons, and model sculptures that are all inter-connected.
Both camps include a visit to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
