Below is information that was sent to us from the Michael C. Carlos Museum that we thought some of you might be interested in. Contact information is listed if you have more questions.
The Michael C. Carlos Museum celebrates 17 years of providing exceptional summer programs in which children and teenagers explore the human impulse to create works of art. Camp Carlos offers participants imaginative and innovative opportunities to explore the ways in which people throughout time and across cultures have taken elements from the earth and created works of art- and how contemporary artists still use many of the same materials and techniques that have been used for thousands of years. In the galleries, campers learn from artists of the ancient world and, in the studio, from some of Atlanta’s best practicing artists. A summer of imagination and creativity await your child at Camp Carlos! Campers will hand-build with clay, work with glass, draw and paint, and create personalized wearable art, guided by gifted Atlanta artists and teachers.
Camp hours are from 10AM - 3PM with aftercare available until 5PM for an additional fee. Campers bring their own lunch and eat on Emory's Quadrangle, weather permitting.
Jake's Ice Cream will be providing free ice cream for campers at the end of each camp session!
