Summer Art Camp Instructor Proposals Now Open

Open to Practicing Artists in All Media

The North Dakota Museum of Art is now accepting proposals for the 2026 Summer Art Camp season. Practicing artists working in any media - painting, sculpture, fiber, design, printmaking, photography, and beyond - are invited to apply.

This is open to artists at all career stages.

Summer Art Camp is an exciting opportunity for kids to explore creativity and discover the many ways art can be made! As a practicing artist, your leadership and experience can inspire the next generation of creators. The North Dakota Museum of Art, our state’s official art museum, located in the beautiful city of Grand Forks, is the perfect place to make a meaningful impact.

Each camp functions as a weeklong teaching artist residency, offering professional artists the chance to work directly with children (ages 6-9 or 10-14) in a collaborative, hands-on setting. Projects should be designed for classroom-based spaces.

Projects should reflect the artist’s own practice while remaining accessible and engaging for young learners. Camps take place June 9–July 18, 2026, at the North Dakota Museum of Art and affiliated UND facilities. Artists will lead a single, week-long camp (Monday-Friday) with support from trained assistants and Museum staff.
