Green Art Camp

What is Green Art? Art that is designed to raise public awareness about environmental issues. Each year at Green Art Camp, we focus on projects that relate to a particular environmental theme. By combining art with a little science & technology, we create fun, interesting, wonderful works of art!

This year's theme: “Kinetic Art & Wind Energy.” Participants ages 8 to 14 will learn ways in which the wind is used to create electricity, and the benefits it
provides to our environment. In addition, we will create both individual and collaborative works of kinetic art (art that moves)!

Dates: June 27 - July 1, 2011
Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm -or- 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
