Edwardsville Arts Center Specialty Camps

Edwardsville Arts Center Specialty Camps

The YMCA and Edwardsville Arts Center have partnered for many summers to offer fine arts classes in the NEW location (revealed in March). Students will have access to ceramic throwing wheels, canvas painting, fiber arts, and sculpture! Classes are taught by two local artists and art educators. Sarah Willig teaches elementary art in the Edwardsville School District and Jenna Smith teaches elementary school in Belleville. Our art classes focus on creating, but we also engage in gallery visits, building artist habits and art discussions.

Students registered in EAC camps should be dropped off and picked up at the Edwardsville Arts Center Location. Transportation is not provided by the Y.
