Youth Art Camp

Launched the summer of 2002, Herron’s Youth Art Camp offers an educational program for the youth of Indianapolis. Students actively engage in a productive series of studio activities geared to personal and artistic development.

Instructors inspire a greater awareness of the students’ own artistic heritage, while instilling the value of art as a means of personal and cultural expression. Art Camp provides students with a deeper understanding of the impact of the visual arts on their world. Class size is limited so that courses may reflect the needs of the individual students.

Herron's Youth Art Camp provides students ages 5 to 16 with a deeper understanding of the impact of the visual arts on their world. Instructors inspire a greater awareness of the students' own artistic heritage, while instilling the value of art as a means of personal and cultural expression.

Herron award-winning junior and senior students with art education experience teach Youth Art Camp classes. Class size is limited, ensuring one-on-one attention from instructors. Art Camp takes place at Herron School of Art and Design's Eskenazi Hall on the IUPUI campus.
