We’ll kick off summer with creative energy. Each day this week we’ll focus on a different art discipline–painting, sculpture, music, theater, and film. We’ll host visiting artists for hands-on experiences, learn about the history and cultural influence of specific artists and art movements, and take mini-field trips around the block to explore Main Street art sites and museums.

This is a day camp - join us for one day or all five!

Do you have what it takes to be in charge at the Frazier? We’ll spend this week learning what goes into all the ways our museum engages with the public. We’ll uncover behind-the-scenes secrets by taking basement-to-boardroom tours and by meeting with staff members in different museum departments. Each camper will work solo or in teams to create what we in the biz call an “engagement:” a historic interpretation, a game or craft, or a tour of their favorite exhibit. Campers will spend the week perfecting it before they run the show on Friday for the public–and for invited parents.

Behind every success there lies a great many do-overs. And often the failures are just as interesting! This week is dedicated to the failures that occurred on a spectacular level. From terrible inventions, stolen ideas, and military flops to hoaxes, fakes, and bumbling criminals, join us as we celebrate some of history’s most epic fails.

Let’s see where the river takes us. This week, we’ll explore the history, creatures, and lore of the Ohio River. We’ll look at life on the water, from shantyboats and pirate ships to Tori Murden’s transatlantic row boat. And we’ll look at life in the water, from giant catfish to the prehistoric creatures that lived in the ancient oceans that once covered Kentucky. With visits to our friends at the Belle of Louisville and the Science Center, this camp is sure to be a splash.

We love printed art and media, so this week we’ll deep dive into the world of comic books, manga, newspaper comics, and zines. (A zine, pronounced ‘zeen,’ is a self-published magazine or pamphlet that springs out of artistic passion and self-expression.) In true zine fashion, we’ll start by reading and then get busy creating. With help from visiting artists, campers will write, draw, print, and collage their own writing and art. And at the end of the week, we’ll print our own collection to share with the group
