Summer Art Studio

Summer Art Studio 2020

July 6th – July 24th

Keep checking in for updates about this year’s Summer Art Studio.
Questions and concerns can be addressed to Mallory Eilbracht at summer@swope.org

Updated: May 13, 2020
July studios will be continuing as scheduled. In place of June studio sessions, online studios will be made available to the public free of charge. Please be patient as we are making these changes. During this time, we are also updating our procedures to ensure the safety of you and your artists when the Summer Art Studio begins in July. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these adjustments.

Registration is now officially open!

Museum members can register April 1st | Non-members can register April 7th.

*We are continuously following the updates in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic and hope to be able to continue our summer program this year. However, as the safety of the public is important to us, we will monitor the situation closely and make decisions based on the CDC recommendations. Registration refunds will occur if the summer program is cancelled for any reason surrounding COVID-19. We are looking into providing an online accessible studio in the event that the stay-at-home order continues to be in effect, although we hope this will not be the case. Please reach out with any concerns about this summer’s program. We would be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have and would love to work with the community in continuing to provide art studios this summer.*
