Mostly Art Summer Program
Imagine your child spending one or more weeks this summer making a huge variety of exciting drawing, painting and sculpture projects, listening to stories, and enjoying an active recess! That’s what our Mostly Art Summer Program is all about. Our art summer camp in NYC is small with a high ratio of teachers to students, so your child will get lots of personal attention.
A generous snack is provided. Children and teens will bring their lunch Monday through Thursday, which they’ll eat while hearing favorite fairy-tales and fables.
Mostly Art runs from June through Labor Day. There’s a one-week minimum, but ask about our special 10% discount for signing up for three or more weeks!
We also have a Half-Day Art program running in the afternoons most weeks – call 212-535-1199 for more information.

Art in Motion
Does your child love art AND dance? From June through August, you can have both! Art in Motion is our innovative partnership with American Youth Dance Theater, located directly across 75th Street from The Art Center.
Art In Motion features half a day of art (drawing, painting and sculpture) 5 days a week and half a day of dance (ballet, tap, jazz, and yoga) four days a week (Monday-Thursday) at American Youth Dance Theater.
A generous snack is provided and we ask that children bring their own lunch (no nuts or peanut butter). This is the perfect program for active children ages 6-10 who want the best of both creative worlds. Ask about our special 10% discount for booking three or more weeks!
