    • Design and build for a better world in this collaborative project-based workshop with a special focus on Bauhaus-inspired design. We’ll work to create a design solution that integrates the environment with daily needs. Teens will unveil their projects at an art show for friends and family at the end of the week. Taught by Pamela Rice, Associate Professor of Architecture at SUNY Orange, and Heike Hanada, architect of the new Bauhaus Museum in Weimar.

    • Join us in this workshop inspired by the majestic mountains of Colorado! We will adventure around Aspen, from Aspen Mountain to the Maroon Bells, in order to create 2-D landscape artworks based on our beautiful surroundings. Responding to the views around us, young artists will create realistic and imaginative landscapes using various mediums!

    • Using Op art as our muse, we’ll design and print a colorful medley of geometric patterns on fabrics to cut, sew, and assemble a wearable item and a unique accessory that express our individual tastes and flair for fashion with an eye-catching pop. We’ll unveil our designs for family and friends at the end of the session.
