Summer Art Camp 2011

Summer Art Camp culminated in a fun and entertaining Swamp Circus Puppet Show and art exhibit during the August Art Walk. The centerpiece of the installation was a collaborative "Young at Art Quilt" created by the children in the Color Patch Portraits camp and assembled by Mary Rhopa La Cierra, an award-winning fiber artist. Each student designed a patch depicting his or her favorite hobbies and activities. From tennis players and swimmers to flying kids and star gazers, the personal portraits are delightful works of fabric art. Also on display were bird kites, nest sculptures, mini-circus tents and a mural of our Ancient City of St. Augustine.
