Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens

ArtReach

Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens now operates two outreach programs so Volusia and Flagler Counties school students can have a hands-on, up-close art experience.  ArtReach Summer Art Camp has been a staple of the Museum's student art immersion program since at least 2001.  Now the Museum's VanGo program adds a whole new dimension to the Museum's art offerings during the school year.

VanGO!

On August 15, 2008, Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens "rolled out" its new VanGo ArtReach program. 

VanGo is the mobile component of Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens' ArtReach programming that brings a museum field trip experience to elementary school children in Volusia and Flagler Counties.

VanGo offers access to original, contemporary art exhibits and multi-disciplinary art activities presented by our Teaching Artist Sandy Fraser, MA, who has 10 years' experience in Volusia County Schools.

The only program of its kind in Florida, VanGo will cruise into our communities to educate over 10,000 children a year in the visual arts, and to inspire creative thinking everywhere!

ArtReach Summer Art Camp

ArtReach Summer Art Camp runs for four weeks each summer.  Students of ages six through twelve can enroll in all four weeks, or just the week(s) in which they have a particular interest.  Art instruction and production ranges from sketching, painting, sculpting, photography, singing, dancing and acting.  Museum staff and visiting artists work to build skills and confidence in the student artists.  A final presentation to parents and the community closes the final week of ArtReach Summer Art Camp, and lets the students show off their newly acquired skills.

Past ArtReach Summer Art Camp schedules and photo galleries can be found in the Museum's online archives.  In late spring each year the new ArtReach Summer Art Camp schedule is made available through this website, accompanied by a printable enrollment form.  Watch the Museum's home page for an announcement when the schedule becomes available.
