Camps in Southwest Austin, TX
A Creative Adventure for Your Child’s Summer Break
This summer, give your child the chance to explore their creativity in a fun and inspiring setting. At our art camps—held in Southwest Austin, Northwest Austin, and Cedar Park—young artists dive into a world of color, imagination, and skill-building.
Designed for children who love to draw, paint, and express themselves, our camps offer a perfect blend of traditional and digital art. As they progress through the week, campers learn essential techniques while experimenting with a wide range of materials.
In fact, each camp is led by professional artists who guide students through drawing people and animals, creating portraits, and bringing favorite characters to life. Moreover, they’ll work with watercolor, oil pastels, graphite, tempera, and digital tools like Procreate—expanding both their artistic toolbox and confidence.
Because of our small groups and supportive instructors, students receive personalized attention that helps them grow at their own pace. As a result, families across Austin consistently give us 5-star reviews for our programs, praising the joyful, educational experience we provide.
Whether your child joins us in-studio or online, each class or camp session is thoughtfully crafted to inspire creativity, encourage self-expression, and build core art skills.
So this summer, instead of just keeping busy, let them flourish through art.
Register today and watch their creativity shine this summer!

RatingMy daughter has gotten to experience two separate studio art teachers, not including the subs for makeup classes, and she’s truly enjoyed every one of them. Makeup classes are easy to schedule and classes aren’t too big. Each class keeps my daughter wanting more. So much so that my youngest wants to join when she turns five and we’ve already booked summer camps!
My eleven year old developed an interest in art over the summer, so I put her in a summer camp at Art + Academy. After one week, she was hooked. Ms. Marcia did a wonderful job of balancing instruction in different techniques and mediums with giving each student enough freedom to pursue the art that they wanted to do. My daughter is now in a weekly class and has made enormous strides. She is learning how to work with pastels, acrylics, water color and pencil. She drags me to Michael’s virtually every week to get new art supplies. This is all due to her wonderful teacher. Thanks for great art lessons!
My son enjoyed his time art camp this summer. He did well with the small class size and liked his teacher, Ms. Anna. He was proud of the projects he made. The one-week camp (3 hours per day) was $330, which I think is on the pricey side compared to other summer camps.
My child has been attending Art+ Academy for a year and also attended a summer camp session. He loves the classes and can’t wait to go each week (He’s 8, so that’s saying a lot). The kids learn so many art techniques and styles. The classes are serious art classes, but they accommodate all levels and allow the kids to express themselves as individual artists. Looking forward to year 2 there.
My kiddo loved her camp experience here. They got to draw and paint animals from around the world and all of the kids had such cute pictures to present. We will be back for sure!
Excellent teachers and great classes. My 5 year old got to make new friends and enjoy a week of summer art camp with Ms Adria. We got to set up a nice shelf at home to display all the art she created at camp.
My daughter who is 6 loved her camp! She had so much fun and the teacher was wonderful!
My daughter is an avid drawer who was not being challenged at her elementary school. We enrolled her in five-day drawing camp at Art + and she truly thrived. Her teacher, Ms. Marcia, imparted to the students an impressive variety of techniques in just a few days. Ms. Marcia really connected with the kids in the class both personally and in terms of instruction. In addition to formal art lessons, there were super fun breaks where the kids had a blast playing games. Each day my daughter came home filled with pride at her accomplishments and she would not let me see any of her work until the art show at the end of the week. It was a joy to see how much she had grown during her week with Ms. Marcia!
