Ohio University’s College of Fine Arts has an array of arts programming being offered this summer for youths and teens that will allow for creative exploration in various types of art forms.
University faculty and staff will receive a 10% discount on program fees for their dependents.
The college will offer two different sets of programming, one with a focus on arts for youths and another focused on pre-college programs.
The Summer Arts for Youth include high-quality, community-driven programs from the Athens Community Music School and Tantrum Theater, as well as medium-specific, exploratory offerings in Art + Design and Film. Across the different programs, elementary and middle-school students will work alongside practicing artists and performers from the University community and beyond to develop and realize their ideas and potential.
The following are the programs for Summer Arts for Youth:
June 5–9: Tantrum Theater Kids Drama Camp ages 7–9
June 12–16: Tantrum Theater Drama Camp ages 10–14
July 3–7, 2023: Stop-Motion Animation ages 10–14; Body Extensions: Wearable Art ages 10–14

The Summer Pre-College Programs offer residential and commuter pre-college programs to students ages 14-18 where they can choose from courses in any area of the fine arts. Students will work with faculty and visiting artists to improve their skills and techniques, hone their creative vision and create meaningful personal work — all while having the opportunity to live on OU’s beautiful Athens campus.
