Summer Camps 2023
This summer, we are offering two outdoor Landscape Painting Camps.

-Vincent Van Gogh
1853-1890
In this summer camp section we advertise workshops for teens and young adults by local artists we dearly admire. They stand with dedication to pass on traditional methods in practical ways to the next generation of Minnesota painters. Many of the students who join these camps find that their skills progress very quickly because of the steady routine a daily workshop offers.
Attendees will receive individual instruction and work at their own pace in a non-competitive environment. Student to teacher ratio is always low to ensure a successful learning experience.
All camps are open to both new and continuing students. The course description, date, time. and cost for each workshop is listed below.
Dates and costs are also listed on our registration page.
