R.W. Norton Art Gallery

Calling all young artists, drama kids, storytellers, and daydreamers!

Calling all young artists, drama kids, storytellers, and daydreamers!This summer, let your imagination run wild at Canvas to Curtain: Bringing Art to Life, the R.W. Norton Art Gallery’s one-of-a-kind theatre camp where paintings leap off the wall and into a performance! Campers will choose a piece from the museum’s permanent collection as their muse, then dive into the creative process—writing scripts, building characters, and acting out original one-act plays inspired by the art. With plenty of laughs, hands-on activities, and time to collaborate, it’s the perfect place to explore theatre and art at the same time! Whether you're a born performer, a behind-the-scenes thinker, or just love making cool stuff with cool people, this camp is your stage to be you! Come turn the brushstrokes into backstories, and see what happens when you give art a new story!
