About
Bilingual Arts & Culture Summer Camp includes hands-on art workshops, language arts, dance, gallery discussions, group musical performances, and both group and individual art projects. Campers work with drawing, painting, and installation, and older youth have projects that range from traditional processes like drawing and painting to contemporary practices like installation. Each session includes a self-curated exhibition and an open house where campers show the skills they have learned to parents, siblings, and other loved ones.
• Ages: 6–13 years old
• Schedule: Three themed weeks, each running Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM PST, with a culminating event on Sunday, July 26, 2026, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM PDT
The 2026 camp offers three themes: STEAM Week (Science, Technology, Art and Math) from Monday, July 6 to Friday, July 10; Community Week (collaboration and story-telling through art) from Monday, July 13 to Friday, July 17; and Artivism Week (art and activism for change) from Monday, July 20 to Friday, July 24, all from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM PST. Separate age groups are offered each week for ages 6–10 years and 11–13 years. Camp activities are an extension of the Museum of Latin American Art’s art education programming, and attendees learn about the elements and principles of art while exploring cultural elements of Latin American art, song, and dance from different regions of Latin America. Children experiment with materials and work through the creative process in individual and team arts projects, and educators encourage individual talents and preferences by allowing children to choose media such as drawing, painting, or collage and to mix paints to create an original color palette. Campers also take part in group musical performances that communicate Latin American culture. Registration for all 2026 sessions opens on February 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM PST.
The Museum of Latin American Art was founded in 1996 in Long Beach, California. Its mission is to expand Latino art through its collection, ground-breaking exhibitions, stimulating educational programs, and engaging cultural events. MOLAA hosts a Summer Camp Internship Program in partnership with LBUSD’s Office of Pathways and Business Engagement and is supported in part by the Robert Gumbiner Foundation and by a grant from the Arts Council for Long Beach and the City of Long Beach, with additional annual support from MOLAA Members.
