Creative Art & Technology Camp: Building skills for successful creative futures
A transformative program for students and Adults from 6th grade and up, where artists connect with industry professionals to develop traditional and digital skills, using creative technology to apply to self-promotion strategies, and entrepreneurial expertise. At Start, students use their existing foundation in traditional creative processes while expanding their abilities with modern technology to adapt to todays processes.
This project-based platform fosters collaboration, team building, and the exchange of ideas, empowering students to give and receive feedback in a supportive, dynamic environment. By blending fine arts and design with digital tools and innovative processes, Start offers more than just art classes—it’s a third place where students can grow, learn, and thrive outside of school, work, and home.
Our summer camp lays the groundwork for an engaging after-school program and adult classes, providing a consistent space for students to build their skills and connections year-round. Start is where creatives turn their passion into confidence and their creativity into a career path. Students leave not only with polished projects and practical skills but also with the ability to market, network, and present their work with assurance.
