Summer Camp
Poster House’s Summer Camp is a weeklong drop-off program for kids ages 8-12 and explores the history and process of printmaking, design, and posters! Campers learn from professional artists as they experiment with techniques like silkscreen, letterpress, lithography, and linocut. Camp ends with a celebratory exhibition, where campers have the opportunity to curate and exhibit their work to families, friends, and the public.
