About the Mixed Media Art Summer Camp

The Mixed Media Art Summer Camp (MMASC) provides children (ages 5–17) with access to Bahamian art and history—areas often overlooked in standard curricula. Through hands-on learning, campers explore various artistic techniques while developing critical thinking and social-emotional skills.

MMASC runs in two, two-week sessions beginning in July, culminating in a final exhibition that showcases each camper’s artistic journey. The camp also introduces young artists to potential careers in the visual arts, expanding their creative and professional horizons.
