Art Camps in Philadelphia
Best Art Classes for Kids in Philadelphia
Philadelphia's kids' arts scene runs on two engines: the professional theater and music companies (Walnut Street Theatre — America's oldest theatre, founded 1808 — runs Camp Walnut; Arden Theatre runs the Arden Drama School; the Rock School for Dance Education is one of the country's top pre-professional ballet pipelines with alumni now dancing with Boston Ballet, ABT, and other major companies), and the university-affiliated studios and museums that host art programs (Philadelphia Museum of Art, Free Library of Philadelphia workshops, and neighborhood arts nonprofits in Fishtown, Manayunk, and West Philly).
Below you'll find fine art studios, drawing and painting classes, digital design programs, and multi-arts camps. Philly registration timing skews late (mid-March through mid-April) — earlier than most cities and worth planning around.
