Themed Art Camp for Elementary School Artists (ages 6-10)

One day of each session we will take field trips away from the MOCHA campus, with art walks and visits to other museums or programs that complement the theme of the week. Each Friday afternoon, family and friends are invited to view and celebrate the week's masterpieces.
