Summer Camp fun is right here on High Street in the Glasstown Arts District! Parents were really excited to be able to register their children for the annual Art Creates Excellence program and Summer Theatre Camp at the Levoy. We scaled back the number of kids in both programs, and they are full. Hopefully, you were not disappointed if you waited to register. In 2022 we anticipate being back to 100 percent capacity for your young artists, actors, dancers, and musicians.
Throughout the school year, the Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts, 22 N. High Street, hosts after-school art lessons for a variety of ages. Rowan College South Jersey–Clay College also has classes and workshops for budding ceramic artists at their fabulous campus located at 321 N. High Street. They also offer non-credit classes and studio time for adults throughout the year. Check rcsj.edu/ArtsInnovation to see the courses available for 2021 and 2022.
