Art Camps and Classes

MMofA’s art camps offer in-depth art knowledge with fun hands-on art activities for ages 5-16. Taught by trained art professionals, each class is customized by age group to explore concepts relating to the elements and principles of art, famous artists, and the MMofA museum collection. Tours in the galleries — including FOR CHILDREN: The Elements of Art & Design and the new Fantastical Forest — enhance students’ understanding and allow for fun interactive experiences.
