Write a commentCNY Arts Center is thrilled to announce the 8th annual Arty Day Camp is scheduled and registrations are open.
The popular art and theatre camp is set to run July 27 through August 21 from 8-5pm with a free lunch and art project each day from 12-2 for any child in the county.
“We are so glad to be announcing the return of Arty Camp in these uncertain days,” Camp Director Bonnie McClellan reports. “We had to cancel everything from art classes to our theatre season when the pandemic forced us to close our doors in March. Being allowed to go forward with Arty Camp is great and we are excited to see the kids again.”
The camp will offer the traditional morning art and theatre classes followed by the free lunch and art project open to the community. The afternoon session will deliver bigger week-long art projects for campers to work on.
Art classes will offer fun themes such as “Black and White with a splash of color” using color and perspective in different mediums. Week Two theme includes “Art for your home”, “All about animals”, and “Outdoor art”. Weeks 3 and 4 will explore “Fairytales and Fantasies”, and a study of “Great artists and their techniques”.
Theatre students will work with new instructor Dan Williams to explore mythology through “Mask-Er-Raid”, Cultural learning through the retelling of folk tales, Fairytales and fantasy on stage, and a study of theatre greats including Shakespeare. Classes will incorporate music, movement and dance along with character development and theatre games.
Registrations are available online at www.CNYArtsCenter.com or call 315-598-ARTS (2787). Scholarship assistance is available through the support of the Jim and Julie Boeheim Foundation.
Individual class sizes will be limited to ten and will follow state-required health and safety guidelines and protocols.
