The Queens Museum invites young artists to join us throughout the year for a variety of camp experiences. Camps are drop-off programs that take place in person at the museum and include a variety of art-making workshops centering exhibition themes and different art mediums and materials.

 

Our camps foster creativity, collaboration, and hands-on exploration in a supportive environment for kids ranging from ages 5-13, with special programs for each age group. Recent workshops have explored everything from board game design and stop-motion animation to fashion design and quiltmaking.
