CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Campers at TAC can learn a wide variety of skills including weaving, sewing, printing, felting and more. Each week campers focus on a specific project, inspired by their weekly field trip to an NYC art exhibition! Kids learn, create, have fun, and most of all enjoy their summer making new friends. TAC offers summer camp options in Brooklyn (5 - 13 YO) and Manhattan (5 - 12 YO), in July and August.
We also offer mini-sessions of classes when kids are on break from school - even one day camps! In these classes, students explore subjects such as weaving, sewing, embroidery, printing, felting and dyeing. Each day is dedicated to a full project, and supplemented with organized play time.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: The Textile Arts Center offers year-long programs for children ages 5-12 including After School Programs and school year Mini Camp.
OTHER CAMP INFO: Textiles exist in the world of utility as well as fine art and exist in nearly every aspect of our everyday life. Learning about how something is made and the labor that goes into it promotes appreciation of makers and our ecological impact. We empower youth to see themselves as the makers and innovators of the future and to continue their relationship with textiles well after their week at TAC.
TAC staffers are all working artists, designers, researchers, creative practitioners, trained and passionate about working with creative young people. We pride ourselves on creating a nurturing camp community with attention to each individual while fostering an engaging group dynamic. Campers are sure to leave with incredible textiles, great friendships, and lasting memories.
