Summer Snow Visual Arts Workshops

Summer Snow workshops provide art training and creative opportunities for students and artists. Started in 1974 by Osral Allred and Carl Purcell, the workshops began with basic art skills, particularly in watercolor. Over time, the program expanded to include a variety of subjects like animation, ceramics, painting, photography, and more, along with professional development sessions on topics like marketing and portfolio building. The workshops, held every June, offer a two-week, hands-on experience for artists to learn, share ideas, and improve their skills.
