Summer Art Camp

Summer Art Camp takes place at the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden + Museum, where children can explore bronze sculptures that have been waxed so visitors can lightly touch them. Campers can move along a gravel path laid out as a giant peace symbol and experience a garden setting that includes a waterfall and streams that muffle traffic sounds. Children can also use Sculpture Searches to explore the grounds and interact with the gleaming bronzes that are waxed for the visually impaired.

• Schedule: Open Tuesday–Friday 10AM–4PM and Saturday–Sunday 11AM–4PM

In 1944, Charles and Angeline Umlauf purchased a carriage house that became their home at the top of a hill overlooking Barton Springs Road, and in 1985 they gifted their home, property, his art studio, and 168 sculptures to the City of Austin for public enjoyment and education. The UMLAUF’s gallery and terrace opened in 1991, and the Roberta Crenshaw learning center was added in 2001. The organization’s mission is cultivating community, curiosity, and connection through nature, contemporary artists, and the work of Charles Umlauf.

The leadership team includes Katie Robinson Edwards (Executive Director | Curator), Trinity Knabe (Executive Assistant), Farwah Hussain (Venue + Events Assistant), Katie Jones (Programs Assistant), Victoria Pontiff (Development Manager), Bella Cheng (Museum Manager), Gustavo Estrada (Facilities Coordinator), Amanda Valbracht (Director of Operations + Administration), Kristen Wilson (Venue Manager), Stacy Nguyen (Community Engagement + Programs Manager), Leila Barber (Marketing Manager), Alexis Streber (Development Assistant), and Frances Thompson (Docent Coordinator). Select programs including Summer Camp, UMLAUF After Dark, Family Day, and StrawFest are supported in part by awards from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Texas Commission on the Arts.
