2010 Summer Art Workshop

Young artists participate in a drumming activity at the 2009 Summer Art Workshop. This year's workshops will feature fashion and plein-air painting.

There is exciting news for studio art at The Haggin Museum. This summer we begin the transformation of the former Summer Art Workshop area into a beautiful multi-purpose classroom. Generously funded by Marian & George Malloy, our new space will not be ready for move-in until early fall. While construction is underway, we will still offer two different workshops for young artists using other areas of the museum.

Registration for the workshops will be by mail with sessions filled on a first-come, first-served basis and limited to 25 students each. To receive the workshop brochures and enrollment forms, contact Lisa Cooperman at (209) 940-6315 or education@hagginmuseum.org. You can also download the brochure and enrollment forms below.

Artists ages 5-7 meet from 10:30 a.m.-12 noon

Ever want to outfit yourself like your favorite superhero or heroine? Using our Victorian fashion exhibition – Bustles & Balustrades – as inspiration, young artists will take apart garments and put them back together to create fabulous looks using some super extreme sewing. No experience necessary. There will be a fashion parade at the end of the week. The session may be repeated.

Fee for each session: $30 museum members; $40 nonmembers
