Spring Vacation Art Program: Spring Into Making

“Spring Vacation Art Program: Spring Into Making” runs Monday, April 20, through Friday, April 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Member registration is $315. Nonmember registration is $350.

The weeklong program provides a mix of artmaking and creative exploration for young artists. Students work in drawing, painting, mixed media, ceramics, and digital illustration. Museum iPads are provided for learning Procreate and creating digital artwork.

Activities include scavenger hunts in the museum and the local library. Walking trips to nearby cultural sites introduce students to New Bedford’s arts community. Tuesday and Thursday sessions focus on ceramics, with instruction in hand-building and wheel throwing.

Kids leave with finished artwork, new skills, and a broader view of local art and history.
