2020 Residential Workshops Canceled due to COVID-19
Dear Friends of the Creative Arts Community:
It is with great sorrow that the Board of Directors of the Creative Arts Community has made the decision to cancel our Residential Art Workshops at Menucha this summer. As you are well aware, the ramifications of the coronavirus are changing very rapidly. We are unable to predict if the pandemic will subside by August.
We carefully considered many factors and feel our decision is in the best interest of the health and well-being of our wonderful community. You are in our hearts and we very much hope to see you again at camp in August, 2021.
The Creative Arts Community will continue our newsletter informing you of important news. We don’t want to lose a single one of you! Please sign up if you have not done so already. We’ll keep you informed, tell you about online forums we hope to create to celebrate our resilient and caring community.
Our hearts go out to everyone affected. Please stay safe.
-The Creative Arts Community Board
Step 1: Choose Workshop
Our workshops are one week-long residential classes held in the first two weeks of August. You must be at least 21 years old to participate. This year we are offering 16 different workshops! (8 choices for each week of camp.) Limit 1 workshop per person per week. Price includes tuition and class material fee. See individual workshop pages for more details including the class supply list which outlines what students are expected to bring. If you are applying for a scholarship, read more here
WEEK 1 WORKSHOPS: August 1-7, 2021
WEEK 2 WORKSHOPS: August 8-14, 2021
Step 2: Choose Lodging
Add to your cart your room selection for the coordinating week of your workshop. Most participants stay in bunk rooms. We have a small number of 3-person, 2-person, and single private rooms that have regular beds. Depending on your budget, choose what sleeping arrangements work best for you. All workshop participants must purchase lodging and stay on campus to attend class.
Price includes 3 meals a day. Do you have any dietary restrictions or food allergies? Menucha can accommodate you, but you must add this extra option to your cart and fill out this form on Menucha's website.
Two-week participants must purchase lodging for both weeks. If you'd like to stay the weekend in between workshops, add "weekend meals” to your cart. We are no longer accommodating early arrivals the first Saturday before Week 1.
Step 3: Shop
You asked, we delivered! CAC will soon offer an array of awesome new products featuring our new logo. Our new website makes it possible to purchase gift cards now too! Use them towards tuition or for a shopping spree in our on site Pop Up Gallery at camp. Sign up for our newsletter to get notified when items become available.
