“Home is where the heart is” as the saying goes. Rumriver Art Center is looking for our call for entry based on “Home is Where your Heart Is. Where do you feel at home: examples may be your house, your backyard, the ocean, on a mountain, in your art studio, or many other places. Where is the place or activity that makes your heart sing? Where you are the happiest, maybe watching birds at the feeder or walking barefoot in the sand. This is a wide topic and see where your imagination takes you. What does the word “Home” bring up for you?

The Rumriver Art Center is excited to be partnering with the cities of Anoka, Coon Rapids and Ramsey to offer some amazing in person Summer Art Camps at local parks. Art camps will be offered at Peninsula Point Park and Akin Riverside Park in Anoka, Lions Coon Creek Park in Coon Rapids and Central Park and Elmcrest Park in Ramsey. The cities are providing these parks for the camps because they all have shelters, restrooms and parking.

Rumriver Art Center is offering over 50 Kids Summer Art Camps in 2023. Camps are already starting to fill.
