The Art Experience is a nonprofit community art and art therapy studio at 175 South Saginaw St in Pontiac serving all ages and abilities. Its summer camp runs three one-week sessions per age group — one each in June, July and August — with each week themed around new daily projects and closing with a Friday pizza party and tie-dye. All experience levels are welcome and projects are pitched at varying difficulty; scholarships are available for families who need help affording camp. The studio also runs art-therapist-led therapeutic programs and private art parties for homeschool groups and scout badges.

★★★★★Liz MorleyThe Art Experience is here for the community. They have trained art therapists on hand to help individuals process emotions and facilitate healing. Painting can be incredibly calming and healing. We hosted a Stars of Hope event at The Art Experience and painted starts to send our love to Uvalde after our own shooting here in Oxford. Thank you to the staff at The Art Experience (Audra, Lisa) and friends for being so wonderful and supportive. Wishing your company all of the success so that you may continue to empower wellness through creativity.
