Art + Design

Our summer camps in Bethesda, Falls Church, and Potomac are designed to spark creativity and ensure a joyful, enriching experience for every participant. With small student-teacher ratios and age-specific groupings, we provide personalized attention and developmentally appropriate instruction that supports each child’s artistic growth. All three locations offer full-day programming from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM in vibrant studio environments where young artists thrive.

Campers explore a wide range of media—including clay, watercolor, acrylics, pastels, and more—through fresh, engaging projects introduced weekly. Students attending multiple sessions will never repeat an assignment, allowing for continuous discovery.


Thanks to an overwhelming response to our recent camp survey, After Care is back by popular demand! After Care is available in the Bethesda location Monday through Friday from 3–5pm. After Care is offered at $100/week per camper. Please note that After Care is optional and billed by the full camp week (cannot be prorated by day).

Teen Summer Camp

Artworks’ Teen Summer Camp offers a dynamic and inspiring journey for young artists ages 12–17. Designed to cultivate artistic talent and curiosity, this program supports teens in creating meaningful, portfolio-worthy work while connecting with like-minded peers.

Campers engage in a rich blend of live instruction, independent studio time, and access to diverse materials. Throughout the experience, students receive ongoing mentorship, personalized feedback, and guidance from Artworks staff. Collaborative projects and peer critiques foster a vibrant, supportive community that encourages growth and creative confidence.

This program is ideal for teens seeking to expand their college application portfolios or deepen their artistic practice in a focused, nurturing environment.
