Summer KidsArt

KidsArt Summer Programs are offered to children ages 5 through 7 and 8 through 12. Explore our summer exhibit with guided discovery and create artwork inspired by what you saw. Special sessions offered to summer groups, please call for details.

Following the Art Museum's successful summer program format, KidsArt workshops are designed for community group visits and for individual participants. As in the past, these exciting, enriching and creative programs will take place in the Museum's bright and inviting studio and will be free of charge with a healthy snack. Exhibit tours and an introduction to Museum etiquette are included with stimulating art activities.

Pre-registration is required to all KidsArt classes. Call Arielle at 843.238.2510 to register.

Summer KidsArt classes fill up quickly and may already be at capacity. If this happens please put your name on the wait list or put a group together and schedule a date for one of the group activities.

ArtTrunks

ArtTrunks are available for loan to schools and community groups at no cost. There are currently six different ArtTrunks available for loan, for a maximum of two weeks.

These resources are designed to strengthen students' appreciation of art, prepare students for a Museum visit, and tie visual art into the teaching of various subject areas. To request an ArtTrunk, contact Arielle Fatuova via email or at (843) 238-2510.


The seven ArtTrunks available include: Ansel Adams: Masterworks, John James Audubon: American Artist and Naturalist, Confederate Currency: The Color of Money, Jasper Johns: 41 Years of Prints, The Fabric of Jazz and The Last Album: Eyes from the Ashes of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Jonathan Green.
