Summer ArtAcademy
Registration is open for FAM's Summer 2026 ArtAcademy workshops.
To register online, PLEASE CLICK HERE.
The Museum normally offers three to five full weeks (depending upon our exhibition schedule - no classes offered while we change out our exhibitions in July/early August) of themed, half-day workshops for ages 8 to 15 that may include drawing, painting, stop-motion animation, comic book design, and more, depending upon our current staff and their special talents. Occasionally, guest artists join us for summer sessions. We also try to tie one or more of the workshops to a special exhibition. Last summer, almost all of our sessions were sold out and had waiting lists.
SEE INFORMATION BELOW ABOUT SPECIAL GUEST TEACHER THE WEEK OF JUNE 15!
