Redmond, WA – The City
of Redmond’s art classes and camps have undergone a strategic refresh to better
align with community needs and the Arts & Culture Commission and City Comprehensive
Plan goals. The revised program is now called Redmond Arts Studio, which will offer camps
this summer at Anderson Park and in the
renovated Grass Lawn Park pavilion. The
Grass Lawn Park pavilion was renovated to replace arts space at the former Old
Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center and officially
opened yesterday for programming.
For
years, the Redmond Clay Studio at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center had
been the first step in ceramic education for hundreds of children, teens, and
adults. Now, the
Redmond Arts Studio will promote
visual arts education and enrichment through classes that encourage exploration
and innovation in a variety of media and skill levels at locations across the
city. In
addition to clay camps and classes, the program is expanded into arts and
crafts and quality 2-D visual arts.
Redmond
Arts Studio summer camps are still open for registration. There is a new option
to “Make A Day of It” by selecting half-day Arts and Tennis Camps taking place
at Grass Lawn Park that can be combined to create a customized full-day
experience. Additional Redmond Arts Studio camps are offered at Anderson Park
including an animal art camp with visits from animal friends from Farrel
McWhirter Farm Park. Fall and
winter seasons will offer additional arts programming for adults such as
workshops and open studio hours. More
information about the 2018 Annual Camp Guide can be found at www.redmond.gov/summercamps.
