that benefits parents and children in the Kennett area.
The Chester County Art Association is once again offering its free summer art camps at The Garage Community and Youth Center in Kennett Square. Aspiring young artists can drop in to receive inspiration from the artist-teachers, who come up with new art projects each day. No registration is required, and parents can stay in the lounge or leave.
The free camp runs Mondays through Fridays through Aug. 10, with two sessions daily:
9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. to noon. Participants can come for a day or several weeks.
Ann Christie, associate director of the Chester County Art Association, said the program attracts participants who range from age 3 to early teens. Parents tend to stay with the younger children, she said, adding that the staff is skilled with dealing with a wide range of interests and abilities.
The Garage is located at 115 South Union Street in downtown Kennett Square. For more information, call the Art Association at 610-696-5600 or The Garage at 610-444-6464.
