The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum will offer full-day, week-long summer workshops for local children called Camp Aldrich, running five weeks from July 13 until Aug. 14.
The programs are for students entering grades 1-10.
The workshops include plaster-casting techniques, animatronics, fashion design and 3-D artwork, and will be led by visiting artists and museum educators. The culmination of each workshop on Friday will be a celebration for family and friends, during which the children will present their work.
The camp is $300 for Aldrich members at the Family level and above and $330 for non-members. To register, visit http://www.aldrichart.org/education/summer.php or contact Michelle Friedman at mfriedman@aldrichart.org. Friedman can also be reached by phone at 203-438-4519 during regular museum hours, noon-5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday.
The museum is located at 258 Main Street.
