Happy almost August! We’ve been having fun making animals and tables out of paper mache, trying out graphic design with computer programs and designing websites for our artwork!
Here’s a quick update on our upcoming programs at Art Haven for Middle and High School students:
UPCOMING Art Haven Visiting Artist Workshops!
Photography Week II (August 1-5)
Illustration (August 8-12)
Alexandra Daskalopoulos, our Art Haven photography teacher, will be leading students in a week long photography workshop next week. Whether you have taken a photo class with Alex before or if you are new to photography, Alex will help you explore this medium further!
Also, we are very excited to welcome Amy Rizzico to Art Haven as the visiting artist for Illustration the following week. She is a local artist on Cape Ann and has a portfolio which can be seen at: www.rizzico.com. She is a "versatile artist with experience in design, illustration, painting and other media." She has illustrated children’s books for other authors and for herself. She has also used illustration for design projects in her professional career.
We are excited that so far we’ve had students commit to both weeks for the full day program in coordination with "The Annie," so we’ll also be writing and performing a play with the theme of "Murder on Rocky Neck!"
Photography Week I
Come learn more about photography, illustration and participate in the performing arts as well!
Classes are from 1-4, Monday through Friday and it’s $75/week. For the full day program with the performing arts morning, the day runs from 9am to 4pm and the cost is $375 for the two-week session.
Youth Open Studio
We also have Youth Open Studio happening throughout the summer on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 5:30-7. This is a great opportunity for students in grades 7-12 for continued exploration and self-guided long-term projects! This is offered at $60/ month or $10 to walk in.
Teen Artist Guild
For advanced students in grades 8-12, we have the Teen Artist Guild (TAG) youth entrepreneurship program. This is designed for students to create artwork and learn strategies for selling their artwork. Students sell their work at the Farmer’s Market, in our gallery and at other venues. Please contact us for more details!

Paper Mache and Graphic Design weeks were a success!
