Open Call for Applications: Camp DRAW-A-THON with Teen Art Salon
Accepting applications on a rolling basis through July 30, 2022!
ApplyCamp DRAW-A-THON is a summer intensive for rising 10th-11th graders led by Teen Art Salon in partnership with The Drawing Center. Over a one-week period young artists will engage in a dynamic daily drawing marathon to fill a sketchbook.
The program builds on Teen Art Salon's use of the sketchbook as a tool for experimentation, risk-taking, and reimagining. Throughout the week, participants will look at work in The Drawing Center's galleries and be given exercises to use the sketchbook as space to dream, prepare, rehearse, record, and realize artistic vision.
In a collaborative setting with guidance from instructors, artists will deepen their conceptual and observational drawing skills, through exploring individual style, the search for inspiration, and spatial awareness on & across the page. The goal is for participants to further a generative routine drawing practice and to celebrate what they are uniquely motivated to sketch.
Program Schedule:
Monday, August 15 - Saturday, August 20
9:00am - 12:00pm
Sketchbooks and all drawing materials will be provided for this program.
Drawing All-Stars is led by Teen Art Salon's Isabella Bustamante in partnership with The Drawing Center's Director of Education and Community Programs, Aimee Good.
