The Marion Art Center is pleased to announce the return of ArtStart in 2021. ArtStart is the MAC’s summer art program for children aged 4 ½ to 9 years, offered in late June through July. ArtStart teachers are specialists in music, dance, theater, and art, and most teach throughout the year and are professionals in their fields. Activities include arts and crafts, theater, music, games, and storytelling. The MAC is working hard to reimagine its summer camp this year to align with state-recommended safety guidelines, with lots of new fun activities. Camp runs weekly, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am ‒ 12:30 pm daily. MAC members (at Family level or above) have access to early registration and receive a significant discount on ArtStart tuition. Cost per weekly session is $215 for MAC members and $240 for nonmembers.
The 2021 ArtStart schedule is as follows: Session 1: June 28 – July 2; Session 2: July 5 – 9; Session 3: July 12 – 16; Session 4: July 19 – 23; Session 5: July 26 – 30. Registration opens for MAC members (in person and by phone or email only) on Friday, February 5. Registration for nonmembers will open on Friday, February 26. Online registration will go live on February 26. Due to very limited capacity, ArtStart fees are nonrefundable unless camp is cancelled.
