The COVID virus is spread mostly through the concentration of particles in the air. This is more often the case than through surfaces. With this in mind, spaces need airflow to stay safe.

We will follow all CDC Federal, State and City guidelines regarding masks and social distancing.
In-person classes will be held at The Art Academy. Doors will be opened before and after each class to introduce new outside air into the school and an air purifier will be used during each session. Fans and/or ceiling fans will also be turned on. Hand sanitizer will be available.
If students feel ill we ask that they stay home and do not attend class.
There will be some opportunities for in-person make-up classes. However, students may make up a class by attending one of our Online Friday Night Hangout Sessions via Zoom. These run from 6:30 to 8:30. Teachers will be in attendance to help with any questions you may have (for a more complete description, please read on).

This camp is for students interested in learning and perfecting Plein Air (open air) oil painting.
