About The Event
Get ready to go big with mural art! This week, campers will learn the basics of large-scale painting, from planning and design to working collaboratively on a shared mural project downtown. Students will explore composition, color, and storytelling through visual art—and reveal their finished portion of the mural during a Student Art Show on Friday, August 2nd!
