LVA Outreach Camps
LVA’s Outreach Camps cultivate an enjoyable experience of learning, self-expression, and exploration of creativity by providing children from underserved populations the space to create art with-in a variety of week-long workshops. Our camps combine hand-on-art experiences, history, environment, focus, wondrous, serious and practical learning experiences. Projects are tailored to meet specific needs of each camp and serve to enrich not only the individual participants, but the community as a whole.
These camps are scholarship based and cost free for all children participating. They are available to children through recommendations. Educators, community leaders, and artists can recommend up to two (2) students per camp. Some camps will require an admissions application essay or video which will be juried, other camp placement is on a first-come, first-served basis. Camp sizes are limited to 15 students each.
To learn about getting recommendations for your students please contact Taylor@louisvillevisualart.org.
