Juneteenth LVA Camp at Waterfront Park

Juneteenth LVA Camp at Waterfront Park

For the fifth consecutive year, Waterfront Park and Louisville Visual Art will offer a full scholarship camp in the theme of Juneteenth. The week-long summer day camp will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. from June 9 to 13. During the camp, students will be introduced to the works and history of Ed Hamilton, Muhammad Ali, and the Underground Railroad while also learning about Juneteenth and Louisville.  Enjoying the Waterfront Park adventure, a riverboat ride on the Mary Miller, a day at the new PlayPort on the wharf and a visit to Roots 101 are all a part of this camp experience.  Explanations of their art will be practiced throughout the week to prepare for their very own celebrational art exhibit at the end of the camp.  The camp will then conclude with a celebration art exhibit where camper’s sculptures, collages and more will be on display.
