What can our five senses tell us about our world? Explore how sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing can be a part of experiencing and making art.

Walking through the galleries at NOMA is like a walk through time. In this session, explore the depths of your memory and make parallels between the past and present through some of NOMA’s oldest artworks and artifacts.

Artists have a way of opening up doors to different worlds and possibilities. Take inspiration from art works as varied as glimmering Fairyland Lusterware bowls and vases and the larger-than-life snail of Hank Willis Thomas’ History of the Conquest in the Sculpture Garden to imagine mind-expanding creations of your own.

Curious minds and busy hands are encouraged to reason and experiment through art and art-making in this awe-inspiring session. Record and document the world around you and test the cause and effects of different art-making techniques and processes.

When we talk about a work of art together, each viewer has unique thoughts and ideas to share! Dig deeper into ideas of self like self-portraiture, identity, and storytelling through projects that are all about you.

NEW! NOMA is excited to introduce a new summer offering for middle school students: the Pre-Teen Art Intensive. This one-week camp program provides campers with an opportunity to work closely with a teaching artist to hone creative skills and develop their own projects.
