In collaboration withÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ College of Liberal Arts
Summer Visual Art Academy is an intensive visual arts program for students from grades 6–12. Students will select their preferred areas of interest and will be assigned to classes prior to the beginning of the academy. Students who wish to focus more time in any area (i.e., metalsmithing) may request full mornings or afternoons in that area. Beginning and advanced levels will be offered for each course.
Register early for the best selection of classes!
