Summer Camp
This summer, Poster House hosts its highly anticipated, first-ever Summer Camp, an exclusive new program for young artists interested in hands-on printmaking! From July 13 to July 17, 2026, join Poster House’s educators for a weeklong exploration of poster making, design, and history. Campers will have the special privilege of learning from professional printmakers, using professional printing materials as educators guide them through historic printmaking techniques. On July 19, 2026, campers will exhibit their artwork not just to their families and friends but also to the public—this is an incredible chance for them to showcase their artistic talents to a wider audience!
