Studio on the Block

MicroCamp

Under our Studio on the Block initiative, we provide resources for teaching artists to pop up MicroCamps in driveways, yards, and parks in their own neighborhoods. It’s a fun, no-registration way for children to explore their creativity. Easy to bike, walk, or skateboard to, the MicroCamps are a great way to gather for community-building, art activities, and take-home art supplies.

This initiative has been recognized University of Florida College of the Arts and has been included in their WE-Making Repository as a “Promising Practices Case Study” to facilitate field-wide learning. WE-Making provides a landmark, evidence-informed framework that maps the relationship between place-based arts and cultural strategies, social cohesion, and increased equitable community well-being.
