Camp Tannery Arts is a unique summer art camp that allows campers to explore a wide range of genre taught by professional artists and teachers, at the Tannery Arts Center in Santa Cruz, CA. Workshops range from African art to African dance and drumming, poetry to printing, theater to textiles, singing to sewing and so much more. Many of our artists are also SPECTRA artists who teach in schools throughout the area. Camp Tannery Arts is proud of both the high quality of our artist’s work and their teaching skills. In addition to workshops, campers get to visit artists in their working studios and lofts. On our last day, Friday, students curate their own exhibit and show their work for families and friends . This year will be a small camp, mostly outside, following all Santa Cruz COVID regulations.
