This is a distinct option for older Toronto kids wanting an extraordinary art camp. Kids aged 11 to 14 join in a five-day immersive visual arts experience hosted at OCAD University. It's taught by professional artists in a studio-based format centered on drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, and mixed media. The camp stands out for its setting and tone. Campers work in OCAD’s professional studios and workshop spaces, and visit public art, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and local Toronto galleries. The Urban Arts week leans into graffiti and street art, while the Eco Arts camp connects creativity with sustainability, including working with upcycled materials. Kids get inspired by working with top artists and teachers from OCAD, notably director and founder Ilene Sova. Sova’s personal career combines art with activism, and her inspiring work, notably the Missing Women Project, has given her a wide audience both in Canada and internationally. Blank Canvases campers gain firsthand experience with the power art has to impact the world and raise awareness.
