Art Association of Harrisburg
Private
The Art Association of Harrisburg, a nonprofit founded in 1926 in the historic Governor Findlay Mansion, offers youth visual-art classes rather than a full-day camp. Summer youth offerings run as weekly six-week class blocks, including Art for Kids (ages 5-9, Saturday mornings), Youth Drawing & Painting (ages 10-15) and an Advanced Youth Open Studio (ages 11-15). Classes are held at the main building and studios in Reservoir Park.

We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact Art Association of Harrisburg directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.

The art here is beautiful it's well done, and it made me really happy. It helped me take me mind off of hard times. The curator was reality kind, informative, and welcoming and he even played music on the piano as I toured the exhibit. If you are an aspiring artist or want to see something to brighten up your day please pick this place. The buildings interior architecture and lighting do wonders to truly complement the art pieces.
I accidentally visited the Art Association today, but I appreciated the reminder that I don't always have to go to Baltimore, Philly, or NYC to see amazing visual arts. Before leaving, I saw beautiful oil-on-canvas work by Sarah Mendez titled “A Day in the Life.” Her exhibition ends tomorrow, April 2. It’s worth noting that the Art Association is located in a beautiful historic building, and it is free seven days a week. Check out their website for upcoming exhibits and art education/classes.
I visited for an art event. There was a wide variety of arts available. The receptionist was very kind and helpful. The only inconvenience was the lack of parking; I had to park two blocks away and walk.
Very much appreciate Carrie personally reaching out to me, And all what her and her staff do to keep both the integrity and diversity of art alive in our city. We only wish if they could've used flexibility in regard to the summer children classes, in the middle of summer, for everyone's sake. We would've wished for our child 2 participate in the remaining classes offered, keeping in mind that a new assignment is done each time. But she wasn't allowed, unless we pay for entire session.
