Lancaster Museum of Art and Pennsylvania College of Art & Design's (PCA&D) Center for Creative Exploration (CCE) are partnering to offer an in-person summer art camp for students in grades two to six. The camp will use the museum's permanent collection not only to teach students about what it is like to work in a museum, but also to inspire new works of art to be shown in exhibition.

"From Making to Museum: A Lancaster Museum of Art and PCA&D Art Camp" will be offered from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, July 11, through Friday, July 15. Young artists will meet practicing, professional artists; learn about museum careers; and create art, which will be displayed with pieces from the museum's collection in an exhibition at the camp's conclusion.

Campers will be on-site at both Lancaster Museum of Art and PCA&D, a 10-minute walk away, and will be escorted between the two locations. At the museum's morning sessions, campers will work directly with artists and other professionals in the field on writing about art, discussing museum careers such as curator and art handler, and choosing a Lancaster Museum of Art piece that will inspire their own artwork.

In the afternoon at PCA&D, they will create their own artworks, which will be exhibited in the gallery at PCA&D through late July alongside the museum's piece that inspired the campers' artwork. The exhibition will then travel to the Lancaster City Visitor Center in Penn Square for First Friday, Aug. 5, from 5 to 8 p.m. and will remain on display through Tuesday, Aug. 23.
