Join our 3 hour art camp designed to give you hands-on experience in sketching, digital tools, storytelling, and self-promotion. This immersive class introduces you to our free workshop and gives you a peak into a full summer program.

This fun and engaging workshop introduces students to the power of creativity through a mix of traditional and digital art techniques. For ages 11–18, the class encourages exploration, builds confidence, and helps students discover their creative superpowers and learn how to self-promote themselves. By blending hands-on skills, storytelling, and digital tools like Procreate, students will learn how to turn their ideas into fleshed-out concepts with a compelling story for a specific piece in their own portfolio, an overall narrative for their collection, or a concept for a graphic novel. You will explore traditional skills like paper and pencils and portfolio review, moving your ideas into using technology to flesh out your overall creative ideas onto a tablet. Using creative software, AI writing support, and networking with other creatives, you will end up having a better understanding of what your goals will be and how to approach the exploration of new tech.
