Camp | Paint the Town
In this camp, little artists get a playful, paint-filled introduction to the colorful world of street art inspired by downtown OKC. Together they’ll build a miniature city bursting with murals that feature bold shapes, color blocking and stencil techniques influenced by local artists. As they explore the vibrant public art around them, young creators connect creativity to their community and gain the confidence to say, “I can make art like that too!”
Camp | Solid Light Story Lab
Step into a world of glowing creativity inspired by Oklahoma Contemporary’s blockbuster exhibition Anthony McCall: Solid Light! In Solid Light Story Lab, campers will bring their own fantastical stories to life using vibrant color, shadow puppetry and the magic of projected light. They will craft illustrated storybooks and playful puppets with alcohol inks, stencils and projectors while learning how artists use light to shape space. Each day is filled with hands-on fun as campers paint bright backgrounds, design imaginative characters, build luminous sculptures and experiment with light and color. The week concludes with the Camp Contemporary Showcase, where campers present a shadow puppetry performance and share their storybooks. It is an exciting and radiant adventure perfect for young creators ready to shine.
