We’re making the absolute best of our virtual summer! πππ½π¨
•
For many of our students this summer is the first in 4 years that they are not with us in the studio, and we miss them SO MUCH! However, seeing them at the ice cream drop off, when they pick up their Art Camp Kits, or evening just through photos their parents send has been amazing and helps us feel connected. π
•
I’m not gonna lie, our virtual summer is going better than I ever imagined! Stay tuned for announcements regarding our plans to reopen late August. ππ½π¬π¨ππ½

Happy Monday, everyone! Today begins another week of virtual Art Camp and this week’s theme is all about the theater! ππ©°
•
Art in Theater Camp explores art’s role in theater. From stage design to puppets, stage make up to props- art plays a HUGE role in theater! π¨
•
We’ll be sure to share some of the fun things our campers create as the week goes on. If you’re children are in camp this week feel free to tag us in any photos you share! βΊοΈ

We haven’t been giving away many sneak peeks at the contents of our Art Camp Kits, BUT I could not resist showing you guys this project for virtual Art In Theater Camp next week!!! π •
A theater stage with working curtains... YES!!! I cannot wait to see all the fun ways our campers build and design their theater stages. Too. Fun. This is just 1 of 8 amazing projects they will take part in. Gah. So happy camps are here! ππ½πβ¨

It’s all about the details. β¨ππ •
We’ve got ONE spot available in Dollhouse Design Camp, 5 spots in Witches+Wizards Camp, 2 spots in Fairy+Unicorn Pt 2, and 6 spots in Fairy Tale Camp! ππ§πΎβοΈπΈπΌπ€΄πΎπ§πΌβοΈβ¨

Here’s what parents are saying about our virtual Summer Art Camps so far: β€οΈThe materials were beautiful, high quality, and thoughtfully curated. They provoked new ideas as the girls talked about what else they could make or incorporate into their creations. π§‘From a teacher standpoint, I loved that the lessons were short and sweet. I can tell you put a lot of thought and set up into filming and this looked great. π Everything was packed and organized so it was easy to grab the materials for the day. π I was able to get work done as they worked independently! πShe had so much fun and has continued to play with, and add on to, her projects. Thank you for putting this together for all of the families this summer. π₯°
•
We are thrilled with the feedback so far and it feels SO GOOD to be connecting with our students again! If you’d like to join in the fun this summer head to our website to snag the last remaining camp spots while they last! ππβοΈ

Here’s a happy little camp prep scene for you on this BEAUTIFUL Friday! βοΈπ

@sculpey_official has always been one of our very favorite materials! It’s so versatile and fun to sculpt with. We can’t wait to see what our virtual campers do with it next week during Comic+Anime Camp! β‘οΈππ½

That’s a wrap on Line+Form’s 1st week of Virtual Summer Art Camp! πβ¨Today Ms. Katie made her way across Indianapolis, delivering @niceytreat to our full day campers because we just couldn’t bear to part with our ice-cream-on-the-last-day-of-camp tradition!π¦
•
We want to thank all of the families who sent us such sweet and encouraging comments this week regarding our video content, the Camp Art Kits, and the overall camp experience! Katie and I have been working SO hard on making sure these camps FEEL like the Line+Form Summer Art Camp experience, and to hear that you and your children are loving them gives us ALL THE FEELS! π₯°

Art Camp Kits for week one, Fairy+Unicorn Camp, have all been picked up! β¨π Seeing my little campers and their families this week warmed my heart. π₯°
•
Monday morning we will embark on our first week of virtual art camp and I’m feeling lots of emotions about it, but mostly I’m just super excited to bring some summer fun, creativity, and joy to our sweet campers! πβοΈπ

Line+Form Art Center is committed to listening to, speaking out for, and showing support of BIPOC through our actions, not just words. We are committing to taking these steps and adding more along the way.π€π€ππ€

We’re having the hard conversations. We’re trying our best to answer her questions. We are continuing to educate ourselves, check our privilege, and support the protestors expressing their rightful outrage and anger across the country. White America, we MUST put in the work. We MUST *listen* to our friends, families, and neighbors of color. βπΏβπΎβπ»βπΌ

One spot has opened in our most coveted STREET ART CAMP! ππ½π
•
This camp was the first to sell out, and for good reason. It’s AMAZING! This summer we’ve partnered with our friends @goosethemarket to spray their delivery truck π€© and hope to tag at least one more location downtown. ππ½
•
If you’ve been waiting to join this camp, here’s your chance! π₯³

Giant coloring sheets inspired by the wonderful @friendsartlab πππ½β¨
•
Coloring is fun, but coloring BIG?! That just screams Line+Form. We like big art and we cannot lie. ππ¨

CAMP UPDATE πβοΈ While several of our sessions are sold out we still have availability in a few of our most popular and FUN camps! β¨
•
Dollhouse Design Camp (thanks to the amazing @hatchartstudio), Fairy Tale Camp, Comic+Anime Camp, and even Witches+Wizards Camp still have a few openings! π§πΌβοΈπ§πΌπ¨
•
I am SO proud of our pivot this summer. We have tons of fun surprises in store for our campers and I cannot wait to create with them soon! Camps can be found at www.lineandformartcenter.com/art-camps-unlinked

We’ve got beds! π±πΈβοΈThank you to @uglylittlefarms for building our custom garden beds for the Line+Form Community Art Garden and outdoor class space! Don’t you just love those built in benches?!π
•
Kayla has been such a dream to work with and I am incredibly grateful for all of her help and expertise with this project. π±
•
Slowly but surely our vision is coming to life. Next up, DIRT! #letsgrowtogether πΈπ₯¬π₯

Storytime! π Right before we closed our doors in March, Line+Form was about to embark on a reeeally big, reeeeally exciting project. Two awesome, women-owned, small businesses here in Indy, @uglylittlefarms and @latinasweldingguild, were going to help take L+F to the next level by building something AMAZING onto our physical space. Those plans were halted abruptly at the onset of the Covid-19 outbreak. π€¦πΌβοΈ
•
An outdoor gathering space and classroom, that we like to refer to as the Line+Form Community Art Garden, has always been our plan since moving the studio downtown. The paved lot to the south of the studio just BEGS to be an outdoor classroom and gathering space for community events. To the north of the building sits the most perfect stretch of land for a teaching garden and classroom where we’d be able to bring back classes like Art+Nature, eco-dyeing with things this kids have grown themselves! I’m here to say we have NOT given up on this dream. β¨β¨β¨
•
Last night I submitted an application for an amazing grant opportunity through @centerforcraft that would allow us to complete this collaborative community project. It would allow us to create an open air class space so that we can return to classes this fall in a safe manner. It would give Line+Form a fighting chance to make it out of this pandemic and provide us with a beautiful space in which we can all GATHER as a community once it’s safe to be together again. π
•
If you have a moment, please send a little love into the universe for us. This grant would mean everything to Line+Form right now and we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity. We aren’t giving up without a fight! πͺπ½

GIVEAWAY TIME: Happy Friday! β¨ It’s a beautiful, sunny day in Indy and it has us feeling SO good that we are giving away not one, but 2 SUMMER ART CAMP KITS to a pair of besties. ππ½
•
Simply tag a friend who you know would love to participate in one of our camps, be sure you’re both following Line+Form on Instagram and FB, and comment with the name of our camp you’re most excited for this summer! βοΈπ
•
You can comment and tag as many times as you like. Winners will be chosen at random on Monday! Happy weekend! βΊοΈπ

BIRTHDAY ART KITS ARE HERE! πππ
•
Ask and you shall receive! We have had to reschedule SO many birthdays since closing our doors, and we reeeeally miss partying with you! Having a birthday during a pandemic is a bummer, but our new Birthday Art Kits are sure to make your child feel EXTRA special on their big day! πππ
•
Each Birthday Art Kit contains one 4 layer art cake, our famous art cake “frosting” recipe and ingredients, art cake adornments galore, and an awesome process art project that fits the party theme of your choosing. πππ
•
Birthday Art Kits can be found on our website under the Retail tab. Let’s celebrate! π

My brilliant friend Catalina (@redvioletstudio) came up with the coolest cooking provocation for her boys the other day, and I couldn’t wait to try it with Ella! πͺ
•
Catalina set out 6 balls of cookie dough for her boys with a variety of toppings, invited them to create their own unique flavor combinations, and then judged them on creativity, appearance, and taste! πͺ
•
Ella has been on a major cooking kick thanks to rewatching the Just Add Magic series, and was so excited about this activity! The topping choices we provided her with were granola, almond slivers, brown sugar, cinnamon, walnuts, chocolate chips, white chocolate nibs, coffee, Nutella, and Oreos-and they all turned out so tasty! πͺ
•
It was a tough call in the end but the overall winner was a cookie called Unicorn Paradise, a very fitting name for a such a delicious treat. I can’t recommend this fun and creative cooking activity enough! Be sure to follow Catalina over at @redvioletstudio for more amazing ideas! π

Order 1 of 5 for Summer Art Camp Kits has arrived! ππ½β¨π¨

Chugging along and getting excited for summer while simultaneously missing all of you! π

Swoon worthy shelfies really get me going. Supplies+Organization=πππ¨

I have to say, I’m getting more and more excited about our virtual camps. We’ve received so many new sign ups since announcing them and I am incredibly grateful for that. π
