THE EVANSTON ART CENTER (EAC) ANNOUNCES “2025 SUMMER ART CAMP ENROLLMENT IS NOW OPEN!”
The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to announce that our 2025 Summer Art Camp enrollment is now open. The EAC offers thematic and studio art camps for ages 4-18 from June 9 – August 15, 2025.
The Evanston Art Center values creative exploration and cultivation because there is no wrong way to create art. Through different pedagogical approaches, the EAC embraces critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and experimentation. Whether you’re just starting or expanding your skills, we focus on sharing new techniques to inspire beginners and deepen existing interests. The EAC is an inclusive space that values diverse perspectives and interpretations, both in the classroom and in galleries. Join us this summer to explore, experiment, and create at the Evanston Art Center!
For campers ages 4-5 and 6-8, each week features fun, colorful art projects based on themes like Under the Sea, Mythical Creations, and Eco Art Studio. Projects are tailored to each age group, with full-day campers enjoying additional afternoon activities.
