Pick Your Picasso & Summer Art Camps!

NCLAC is excited to announce we will be holding our Summer Arts Camps in-person again, with the hope that we have put the days of COVID quarantining behind us. 

Two 9am-12pm Monday-Friday sessions will be held in Ruston, June 6th-10th, and June 27th-July 1st. The camps will feature visual art, drama, and music classes for kids in the 1st-6th grades, culminating in a camper art show and presentation each Friday.

Early Bird registration will be open April 18th-May 20th, for $65. After May 20th, camps will be $75 a session.  Don’t forget NCLAC members receive a $5 off their registration fees!

But what about the kids that want to go but the funds may not be there for their families? That is where our awesome “Pick Your Picasso Scholarships” come in!

We are accepting donations now to provide free Summer Art Camp sessions to children in our community.  A $65 donation covers a week of art instruction, including supplies, snacks, and a t-shirt. Thanks to our Pick Your Picasso donors, we are able to provide free camps to an average of 50 kids every year.

If you would like to give a child the gift of creativity, confidence, and self-expression through NCLAC’s Summer Arts Camps, please mail your donation to NCLAC, Attn: PYC, P.O. Box 911, Ruston, LA 71273. Or go to our Summer Arts Camps page on our website at nclac.org, and follow the link to “sponsor a child’s tuition” this summer.  

The Summer Arts Camp page also features a link to nominate a child you believe would benefit from our camps, but may need a scholarship to attend.  The gift of nominating and sending deserving kids to Summer Arts Camp profoundly impacts the children who receive a scholarship, as well as their families!

Before you know it, summer will be here, and the kiddos off to summer camps and fun! CLICK HERE to go to the Summer Art Camps page.
