Camp Location: Hughes Fine Arts Center, UND Campus
Drop Off Time: 8:45 – 9:00 am
Pick Up Time: 3:00 – 3:15 pm
Parking is located in the Hughes Fine Arts Center lot
Lunches and Snacks:
Each camper must bring their lunch, unless you have purchased a lunch box from the Museum Café.
Please note there is no access to refrigeration or heating appliances. Campers cannot be allowed to use vending machines. Snacks will be provided by the Museum once a day, e.g., a juice box and serving-size bag of chips.
We appreciate that some parents offer to supply snacks for the day. If you wish to do this, please let us know a day in advance.
Suggestions to Pack:
Ask your camper(s) to wear appropriate clothes that can get stained. After all, this is an art-making camp and we’ll be getting messy.
Each camper is assigned a locker. You may wish to consider packing a sweater or light jacket (air conditioning in the building can get cool), comfortable shoes for standing, walking, and playing outside, hat or sunglasses, and sunscreen. Please mark all items. Leftover items are donated at the end of each camp.
Receptions:
On Fridays at 2:00 pm the campers design and hold a brief reception and art show for parents, friends, and family. Park in the same area that you drop them off in the morning. The campers are proud of their week’s work. We encourage you to show your support by attending the reception. This is also a time for you to meet the teaching artist, Museum staff, and all the other campers and families that make camps possible. Please prepare to take home the artwork at 3:00 pm, after the reception. You will want to bring your camera.
Registration for this schedule starts on 05/07/2025 and ends on 07/08/2025
Participants must be 10 years to 14 years old when the program starts.
Carve, ink, and press your own bold prints like a pro! Campers will learn fun, hands-on printmaking skills to turn cool designs into frame-worthy art. With expert help, you’ll explore simple tools, textures, and color to make artwork that really pops!
Raised on a farm near Embden, ND, printmaker Eric A. Johnson didn’t pursue formal art training until his first college art course at NDSU in 1991, eventually going on to earn his MFA in Printmaking from the University of North Dakota in 2001. Johnson’s work draws from his active imagination, with bold and colorful images running the gamut between slight abstraction and non-objective work. Since 2017 Johnson has had three solo exhibitions at the Rourke Art Gallery and Museum in Moorhead, MN. In 2018 he purchased his own etching press, a Griffin Press Co. “Series IV” and became the first resident artist specializing in printmaking at West Acres Shopping Center in Fargo, ND. In 2019, he opened “Big Oak Press”, his printmaking studio near his home in Hillsboro, ND where he creates both prints and paintings.
