Andy welcomes Kestrel Tinklenberg from Ponca City’s City Arts to talk about one of the most beloved youth programs in town—Art Camp!
Happening July 14–18 at City Central, this year’s camp will guide kids (ages 6–12) through the styles and stories of legendary artists like Van Gogh, Monet, and Seurat. Each student will create original art inspired by the masters and take part in fun, hands-on projects each day. Breakfast is included thanks to a partnership with the Community Health Foundation, and camp runs from 8 a.m. to noon. The cost is $185 per camper.
The two also chat about Art Fest, City Arts’ biggest annual event, which celebrates local creativity with dozens of vendors, food, live music, and some of the best artwork you’ll find in Oklahoma. After a record-breaking 50th celebration last year, the team is working hard to make this year’s event even better.
Kestrel shares what it's like behind the scenes, the power of helping kids come out of their shells through art, and how crucial community support and sponsorships are to keeping local programs alive.
