What an incredible week at the Plainfield East High School Art Department Summer Art Studio.

Held during the last week of June, the camp welcomed over 180 young artists (ages 4–13) who amazed the staff with their creativity using acrylic paint, clay, colored pencils, pastels, watercolor, papier-mâché, and more.

A heartfelt thank you to the over 30 amazing volunteers from the National Art Honor Society and National Honor Society who helped make the camp a success.

Proceeds from the camp supported the PEHS NAHS Scholarship, helping the school invest in the next generation of artists.

“Thank you for all the support for our growing program and helping us fund scholarships for future NAHS students,” said PEHS teacher Emily Tonon.

We’re already counting down to next summer!
