SAMFA Summer Camps
San Angelo Museum of Fine Art’s Education Studio offers special workshops that connect students with practicing artists. These programs include the The En Plein Air Texas Student Workshop, where advanced high school art students learn directly from professional plein air painters during the annual En Plein Air Texas opening week of events.
SAMFA also hosts an art camp each summer for kids aged 7–12 called The Art of Nature.
