There are still openings for play and experiment in weekly, art-filled camps at the Creative Workshop at MAG!

We offer full-day camps for youth ages 5–12 and half-day teen camps for youth ages 13–16. Our camps strengthen your child’s art education through exploration and structured hands-on projects that help build confidence in their own creativity.

Camp programs are for all experience levels, introduce art techniques, and allow for exploring art-making and creative problem-solving. They are taught by the Creative Workshop’s team of teaching artists and teaching assistants who lead the camps in high-quality art projects, demonstrations, and gallery visits to see original works of art in MAG’s collection and exhibitions.

The waterfront promenade of "The Riva degli Schiavoni" or River of the Slavs, has long been one of the most picturesque and popular in Venice. Paintings by the great Canaletto and his British followers like William James show the bustling of gondolas, sailing boats and barges; the promenade itself is equally lively with travelers, merchants and townspeople actively engaged in both commerce and recreation.

🖼️The Riva degli Schiavoni, Venice, Looking West
🕰️ca. 1760-1771
🖌️William James
🏛️Second floor of the museum

We're open late tonight with half-priced museum admission starting at 5 pm. Come visit!

See you soon!
