Summer camp excitement is building in our studios, and we’re so grateful for everyone who has supported our scholarship fundraiser so far! Your generosity is already helping more young creators access a summer filled with art and imagination.

We’re still working toward our $10K goal for camp scholarships. If you haven’t donated yet or want to help us get even closer, contributions of any amount truly help open our doors to all campers. See the link in our bio for more details.

Thank you for being part of this creative, caring community!

Summer camp is just a few weeks away, and we can’t wait to welcome young artists into our studios! Together with the Community Arts Foundation, we’re working to ensure every child who wants to create, explore, and make memories at art camp has the chance to do so.

We’re aiming to raise $10,000 for summer camp scholarships - and truly, every donation helps, whether it’s $5, $25, or more. If you’re able, please consider giving today to help open the studio doors to all campers this summer. See link in bio for more info.

Thank you for helping creativity grow in our community!

Meet Community Arts Teaching Artist Nicolette Aarons! Nicolette brings a deep passion for theatre and dance to our community! A graduate of CSU Chico, Nicolette earned her Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts (Production) and minors in Photographic Studies, Theatre Arts, and Dance. Theater has been a part of Nicolette's life from a young age. "When I was a kid [my mom] constantly let me create and pushed me to grow, practice and fail in all kinds of art while still being supportive." Nicolette has continued her love for theater as a camp counselor and teacher for the last 8 years in various camps. Her teaching style consists of getting all the kids creatively involved and teaching them about all the different aspects that go into live theatre. Nicolette strives to create a safe space where all the kids feel comfortable expressing themselves and learn how theatre is a team effort. Nicolette will be teaching Theater Camp 1 and Theater Camp 2 this summer.
