Kids Summer Art & Pottery Camps
We’re so excited to share our Summer Kids Art and Pottery Camps for 2026
These camps are all about creativity, exploration, and hands on making in a fun, supportive studio environment.
Pottery Camps (Ages 9–12)
$275 per camp
July 13 to 16
July 27 to 30
Spend the week working with clay while creating both functional and sculptural pieces. Kids will learn handbuilding techniques and bring their ideas to life in clay.
Art Camps (Ages 6–10)
$250 per camp
Deep Sea Creatures Studio
July 6 to 9
Dive into an underwater world where kids will design and build their own imaginative sea creatures using recycled materials and paper mâché. From jellyfish to totally made-up ocean beings, this camp is all about creativity, texture, and getting a little messy while making something magical.
Snuggle Squad Studio
July 20 to 23
In this cozy, creative camp, kids will design and create their own stuffed animal from start to finish. They’ll learn beginner sewing techniques and explore felting to add personality and details, leaving with a one-of-a-kind plush friend they made themselves.
Exhibitions
Offering 6-8 exhibitions per year, our focus is supporting both emerging and established artists located in the Kootenay/Basin area. We also facilitate opportunities to exhibit elsewhere in the community.
Programs
The VISAC Gallery offers workshops in a variety of mediums. Facilitated by our talented arts practitioners, we welcome all skill levels to explore their creativity! Our workshop space is also available for private rentals.
Pottery Studio

$35 for 35 Years
VISAC is proud to be celebrating 35 years of excellent visual arts activity in the Greater Trail Area. Incorporated in 1989, the Greater Trail Visual Arts Centre Society has a long history of representing visual artists in a community-minded way.
We’ll be organizing events and activities all year long that celebrate and reflect our long history of serving the arts in the community. If you’ve long been a patron or have never visited us before, we invite you to celebrate with us this year.
The VISAC Gallery operates with the generous support of our members, corporate sponsors, and community partners.
