Experience Art Camp
During the summer, 7-12 year old children take over the Museum, drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpting, book-making, even creating their own animations! Integrated into our curriculum are art history, fundamentals, and critical thinking while encouraging creativity and exploration. Also during the program, children are given the opportunity to tour the galleries and learn about current exhibits. This experience should not be missed. Call the Bakersfield Museum of Art for more information or download the ENROLLMENT FORM here!
