The Saint Louis Art Museum invites community and school groups to participate in its annual free summer arts education program. This year, Youth smART explores a wide variety of sculpture from around the world. Come celebrate the wonders of three-dimensional art by studying large and small-scale works of art made of wood, metal, cloth, stone, and more. After sketching works of art in the Museum’s collection, each student will design and create a sculpture to take home. Selected projects will be featured on the Museum’s See For Yourself online student sculpture gallery.
