Summer at SPACE

JULY WORKSHOPS: We offer nine great week-long arts workshops for ages 6 - 14, including drawing, painting, ceramics, and design. Click here for more information.

ARTS CAMP: From August 3 - 21, we host our wonderfully creative neighborhood arts camp, aimed at ages 6 - 14, which runs Monday - Friday, 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m each day.

The camp features morning workshops taught by experienced visual artists, an afternoon of unstructured creative fun, walking field trips, and guest visits by professionals in the arts. Past activities have included silent movie viewings at the Rialto Theater, live music at the South Pasadena Music Conservatory, and a photo shoot with a professional photographer. Weekly projects include ceramics, mural painting, chalk art, puppet-making and lots more.

The intimate size of the camp allows us to explore, when possible, individual interests students may have. Students can attend one week or all three. Registration is going on now. More info and registration details are here.
