Philly Art Center offers week-by-week summer art camps all summer for children ages 4-13 at its Fairmount, Philadelphia location. Younger campers (ages 4-12) explore weekly themes across 2-D and 3-D media with full-day and half-day options, while tween camps (ages 9-13) dive into specialty themes such as comics, drawing, painting, ceramics and sewing. The center provides aprons and materials; campers bring lunch.

★★★★★Dave MalacaGreat learning experience! I've only taken one course here, but I would definitely sign up for another in the future. The painting instructor, Kathleen Eastwood, was a wonderful teacher. I definitely walked away with some additional skills having completed the class. I found the studio itself to be cute and cozy. Great experience all around.
★★★★★Alexis CulpTook a winter weekly clay course with Chelsea. She was so helpful and a great teacher!
★★★★★Colleen YoungPhilly Art Center is the best!! I took Clay Foundations with Ruth, and it was such a wonderful experience. Ruth was the most incredible teacher: patient, positive, and so helpful both being hands-on and verbally walking me through a process, whichever version of help I preferred in the moment. I was also pleasantly surprised by how many pieces of art we each made (and got to take home). The cost was already worth it with getting such an awesome teacher, so the materials being included and taking home that much work was a great bonus in the scheme of price. Could not recommend more!
★★★★Juana PhillipsThe art activity for the kids was age-appropriate, and the staff did a great job encouraging them while allowing for independence. Even the two-year-olds were engaged! They have a back room for pizza and cake and handle all the party favors. Highly recommended for birthday parties!
★★★★★Julia BlochA favorite go-to for kids' programs. The quality of the art instruction is unbeatable, from materials to the range of projects to the way kids are given room to be expressive and to experiment.
