We are excited to announce some changes in our summer programming for students between the ages of 11 and 14. Each week, rather than focusing on a theme, students will have the opportunity to focus on one particular medium. They will explore and create while developing skills in medium-specific processes and with medium-specific tools. These camps are four days a week, and 2.5-3 hours each day.

Save the Dates: Artist In The Spotlight Summer Art Camp
Join us this summer as we shine the spotlight on the lives and work of six important and enduring visual artists. Each week students will explore a different artist in depth, creating works inspired by their medium, subject matter, philosophy, and life. Each 4 day camp will include a combination of two dimensional and three dimensional projects developed for 6-10 year old artists. As always, we will learn a lot, play, explore, and expand our understanding of art and the world around us!

Splat and Splodge: A Ralph Steadman Inspired Art Camp
Prairie Arts Center is excited to once again partner with our neighbors to the north, the OSU Museum of Art, for this year's Spring Break Camp. This 4-day camp will begin on Tuesday, March 18th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Ralph Steadman: And Another Thing where campers will get to see Steadman's expressive, bold, and whimsical work up close. Our week of art making will take inspiration from Steadman's ink blot technique and his willingness to wait for characters and images to emerge from his random splats and splodges. Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes!

Art Academy 2025
Art Academy is an after-school class designed for students who wish to develop and grow their artistic aptitude. Throughout each six week session, students learn and practice foundational skills in the visual arts and are exposed to a variety of mediums in both the 2D and 3D arts. Art Academy students also develop strong visual literacy and critical thinking skills through looking at and discussing their own artwork and the artwork of others. For the 6-10 year old cohort, each session yields a "final" work or project that is shared and discussed. For the 11-14 year old students, the focus shifts to skills-based instruction with an emphasis on drawing, painting, design, and composition.
Fall Break Art Camp - The Stories Objects Tell
Prairie Arts Center is excited to partner with the Stillwater History Museum at the Sheerar for this year's Fall Break Camp. This 3-day camp will begin on Wednesday, October 16th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour. Campers will get to see and touch some of the Sheerar's most interesting historical objects and learn the stories of another time. Taking those objects and stories as inspiration, we will spend the rest of our time together making object based artworks that tell our own stories. Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes.
