REGISTRATION OPEN
The Tampa Museum of Art (TMA) is offering a new Spring Art Camp, April 6 - 9, 2009, that coincides with the spring break schedule at public schools throughout the Tampa Bay area. The four-day program is geared for children between the ages of 6 - 10, and is offered as half-day (morning or afternoon) and full-day sessions.
The Spring Art Camp
program will offer exciting hands-on activities throughout the day, and
will encourage students to push their creative boundaries. Themed activities include animation, design, puppetry, printmaking, sculpture, drawing, and painting. The
camp program cost is $35 for a half-day session, and $50 for a full-day
session. A $10 discount on either session is available to TMA members.
The morning session will be held from 9 a.m. - 12:15 p.m., and the
afternoon session will be scheduled from 12:45 - 4 p.m. (drop
off begins at 8:30 a.m. and pick-up ends at 4:30 p.m.), with before-and
after-care available on site at the museum's interim location at 2306
N. Howard Avenue in Tampa.
Hillsborough County art instructors will teach all sessions. For more information about the museum's Spring Art Camp, contact Heather Spooner at 813/274-7328.
