Sketchbook Camp

Art journaling is a wonderful habit for everyone, not just artists! Keeping a journal that contains one’s inspirations, frustrations, dreams and fears is a way to creatively process everyday life. Campers will study the Grand Center Arts District as a group for on-site drawing and journaling, and have tours at neighboring institutions including the Pulitzer Arts Foundation and Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.
