About this event
One of 59 upcoming events at Wichita Art Museum, and 293 across Wichita.
Open to ages 6–12 $30 per session / $20 for WAM members | Advance registration required E-mail [email protected] to receive your discount code. Questions? Email [email protected] Once school’s out, we hope your young artist will join us for a multi-media afternoon! They’ll look closely at All the Flowers Are for Me by Anila Quayyum Agha, using a camera to capture the light and shadow reflections of the patterns and symbols. Then, they will use drawing materials to dive more into patternmaking by referencing their photography. WAM Camp offers a flexible, day-by-day summer experience for children ages 6–12, designed to fit a variety of family schedules. Each session runs from 1 to 4 pm, with the option to register for individual days or multiple sessions. At the museum, campers spend time both in the galleries and the studio. They engage with works from the permanent collection and exhibitions through guided looking and conversation, then move into hands-on artmaking where they experiment with materials, techniques, and open-ended projects. The structure emphasizes creativity, confidence-building, and connection, with all materials provided. Sessions run across June, July, and early August, with additional dates during school breaks during the academic year, offering families multiple entry points throughout the summer.
