Derek Alford, art teacher at Marquette Catholic High School, designed and will instruct the camp. The camp is being partially funded by a grant from the Jacoby Arts Center and Illinois Arts Council.

 

“This camp will feature art that anyone can do, regardless of age or ability,” explained Alford. “Projects will be fun and simple which can then be done at home after learning the skills. We want to bring art to those who have never thought of creating works of art or those who want to do more.”
