Tinker @ BMoCA: Glow in the Dark (5 - 10 yrs) July 21st-24th, 9am - 12pm

Glow. in. the. Dark. Art. Camp! (Should we just stop there?) This popular week of camp is one for the record books, and we're already counting down the days! Using neon art materials and black lights, we will transform our studio into a glowing art gallery. In this super fun week of camp, we'll make our own glow-in-the-dark hats, glowing canvas paintings, sea creature, and so much more as we play with bright colors all week long! The best part? This week's artwork will stand out in the light with the bright neon colors, AND glow to brilliant other-wordly levels under black lights! Students will also go home with their own personal black light LED flashlight to show off their amazing work! A note about black lights: black lights emit UV-A light, which is the safest of all UV wavelengths. We will teach black light safety (not staring directly into the black light bulbs) and only spend short periods of time with our black lights on.

In our fifth summer of partnership with BMoCA, we can tell you, these camps are amazing! We spend our days in the stunning upstairs studio above the museum, and get to make art in community while being inspired by our surroundings and the contemporary artists' work on display. Each week includes a museum tour, and each day includes snack and break time outdoors on the large grassy lawns in front of the museum. Less than 6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, the most inspiring space, exposure to contemporary art while making amazing work of our own -- it doesn't get much better!
