Teachers will work with campers on stone carving, clay sculpting, pottery making, photography and drawing. Art instruction will be provided by Kalamazoo area artists Ann Landry, Joe Smiegeil, Mike Donenfeld, Brian Young and Ponchillia and Lee. The camp will open with a presentation of Inuit stone carving and culture offered by Kathleen Buday of the Dennos Museum of Traverse City. The Dennos Museum is the largest holder of Inuit stone sculpture in the United States. The camp will culminate in an exhibition designed by the young artists.
All events are open to the public.
The exhibit will be part of the Art Council of Greater Kalamazoo's popular Gallery Hop series on Friday, September 8. The young artists' sculpture and pottery exhibit will open at WMU's Unified Clinics at 1000 Oakland Drive, while an exhibit site for drawings and photography has not been set.
