Studio Schedule

Thank you to all who joined us for Summer Art Studio this summer! Check back soon for our digital show of your artist’s work.

Creative Construction Learning Lab with Terre Haute Children’s Museum

August 5 | 8:00AM – 5:30PM | 1st-6th Grade

Construction is fun and can seem crazy, but really there is a method to the madness and simple machines make that possible. Use these everyday tools to solve problems, put them to use in the build it project, and create art. This lab is brought to you by Terre Haute Children’s Museum. 

Artists will be dropped off at the Children’s Museum and walked to the Swope from 9am-11am for a two hour construction inspired art project. They will then return to the Children’s Museum to finish out their lab.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

COVID-19 PROTOCOL 

All artists, instructors, and volunteers must wear masks for the duration of all studios. Studio capacity is limited to 12 artists per outdoor studios, and 10 artists per indoor studios to allow us to safely distance the students. Artists will get their own personal supplies that they will maintain throughout the week. Bathrooms are cleaned on the hour. In the event that an artist, instructor, or volunteer is sick, they should not come to class. Keeping our participants safe is a top priority while still offering an enriching art experience this summer.
