Art Camp

Get Creative at CherryArts Summer Art Camp!

Get creative this summer at CherryArts’ one-week art camp with Colorado artist Lilian Lara! Lilian is a mixed media artist specializing in unconventional sculptures, fashion, and textiles. Her art leans on the dramatic and creates outrageous displays of pageantry out of the everyday. She weaves story and memory to forge experiential spaces for a multigenerational audience. Lara’s immigrant roots shape her work and drive to make each piece an amalgam of innovation, defiance, and culture. Lilian will guide campers in exploring joy through the tiny wonders of everyday life. 

Inspired by bugs and the small moments that make us smile—like smelling a flower or laughing with friends—campers will build glowing insect lanterns that capture these joyful experiences. 

Campers will: 

  • Create their own mini-illuminated lantern to take home 
  • Design and build 3D insect sculptures using wire and wax paper  
  • Learn basic sculpture and tool techniques 
  • Collaborate on a large group installation lantern for our Mobile Art Gallery, which tours schools across Colorado and will be featured at the 2025 Cherry Creek Arts Festival! 

Join us for a fun, hands-on week celebrating art, light, and everyday magic!
