New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) is excited to partner with LGS Recreation to deliver this week-long camp for young artists to create a unique artwork that captures their perspective on the history and charm of Los Gatos. Participants will learn art techniques, explore the museum’s art & history exhibitions, walk the Los Gatos Creek trail, learn about local flora and fauna, visit local Los Gatos historic landmarks, and even meet some key town officials. Each day we’ll focus on a new topic and by the end of the week students will have completed a one-of-a-kind painting reflecting the theme “Capturing Life in Los Gatos.” The camp concludes with a mini-art show where campers proudly display their work for family and friends. This is a highly engaging interactive art and history experience that you don’t want to miss.
This is an evolution of a previous program, the Los Gatos Footbridge Mural Project. Returning students are welcome!
In 2022, the Footbridge Mural Project received an Award of Excellence for its recreational contributions at the California Park and Recreation Society (CPRS) District 4 Awards & Volunteer Recognition Dinner.
