Goat Art? Why Art Farm Summer Camp is Unique


Summer camps abound in San Diego County. Art camps, too. So what's so unique about Carlsbad Art Farm?

Art Farm is a place where kids come to learn how to paint, draw, and otherwise make art from live animal models in outdoor studio classrooms nestled on a beautiful, wooded 10-acre coastal property.

At Art Farm students take a step back to a time and place where the emerging talents of young artists are treated seriously and nature serves as their inspiration. They cross our wooden bridge and leave behind cityscapes, stoplights, and pavement for a setting that looks much as Carlsbad did back in the early 1960s – when the director’s family first purchased and set out to preserve the property.

Kandinsky the Art Loving Goat (pictured above; she will eat your art work if you letter her get too close!), Picasso the mini-mule, Hilda the Soccer Dog, Maude the Mystery Chicken, and all our other animal models at Art farm loved meeting the many students who came to camp last summer and they look forward to seeing some new faces this summer
