Led by Gild Studios, the focus is on experimentation and process, helping children gain skills, express themselves, and develop a love of making.

Led by Gild Studios, our 5-day art camp for 6 to 12 year olds during the February school break will be the ultimate vibe for kids to explore art through hands-on projects.
During the week-long camp, young artists will make three to four small art pieces per day, as well as work on creating one large project that develops across the week. The focus will be on play, experimentation, and discovery. Participants will try out new techniques and materials while learning art concepts like pattern, juxtaposition, and texture, which can apply to any creative practice in the future.
Please send your child in clothes that can get messy with paint and glue. All skill levels are welcome, each child will be supported at their own pace.
Early drop-off from 8am and late pick-up by 5pm available for $10 / day.

Other Programming
After School Artisans
After-school Artisans is an 18-week program designed to provide an enriching and engaging experience at no cost for inner-city and at-risk youth. The program is focused on introducing students to the world of art, creating, digital design, STEM, and making, with a particular emphasis on hands-on learning, utilizing nearly all of our tools and equipment.
Community Program
Make Stuff Mondays
Make Stuff Mondays is a dynamic 8-week hands-on experience, in which participants will explore the realms of laser cutting, 3D printing, decal cutting, leatherwork, and woodworking, bringing their ideas to life with precision and innovation. From personalized decals to the artistry of leatherworking and the craftsmanship of woodworking, each week offers a unique opportunity for hands-on exploration and creative expression.

Dreambrokers
Makerspace partners with Dreambrokers to provide a wide range of programming services for the inner-city school they work with. From focused 4 week programs, 10 week extended programs, 18 week full programs, or even a dedicated week of summer camp, Dreambrokers has been instrumental in helping us to provide enriching hands-on learning to many youth who don’t have the same sort of opportunities as many other families in the city.
