Past Youth Art Camps

Artists in the Spotlight - Betye Saar

Join us for this first week of camp as we turn the spotlight on the rich and mystical storytelling of Betye Saar's three dimensional collage work. Like Saer, we will assemble artworks that speak to our memories, dreams, and deepest imaginings.

Artists in the Spotlight - Mary Blair

This week our spotlight is on native Oklahoman, Mary Blair. Blair was an illustrator, animator, and designer for Walt Disney in the 1940's and 50's, working on such films as Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Alice and Wonderland. Just like Blair's work, our week will be full of color, movement, and storytelling!

Artists in the Spotlight - Shel Silverseitn

Join us for a week with the hilarious poems of Shel Silverstein! We will read, laugh, and
make lots of art inspired by Silverstein's wacky and wondrous word play and distinctive line drawing illustration style.

Artists in the Spotlight - Ray and Charles Eames

This week we will work at the intersection of art and design just like the power duo of Ray and Charles Eames did. We will answer questions of function, as well as form, and give into collaborative art play every single day!

Artists in the Spotlight - Georgia O'Keefe

This week we will take a deep dive into the iconic life and work of Georgia O'Keefe. Like O'Keefe, we will take our inspiration first and foremost from our surroundings, from the vastness of land and sky to the intimacy of flowers, bones, and shells.

Spring Break Art Camp - Humans and the Hydrosphere

Prairie Arts Center is excited to partner with the OSU Museum of Art for this year's Spring Break Camp. Humans and the Hydrosphere will be an exploration of the museum's current exhibition, "The State We're In Water: Constructing a Sense of Place in the Hydrosphere." The hydrosphere is the sum total of all the water on the planet. Students will be using the lens of art and art-making to learn about watershed habitats, wastewater recycling, and the imprint of water movement on the land. They will also have the chance to explore and express their own relationship to water and participate in an interactive tour of the exhibition led by Cat and Christina at the museum.
