Both summer camps will be held in the Wellington studio of ArtStart President Jeannette Pomeroy Parssi, an accomplished artist who also teaches at the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts in northern Michigan.
Parssi will lead two sessions, titled “Global Arts: Art and Culture from around the World.” Session 1 runs Monday through Friday, June 10-14 from 9 a.m. to noon (students entering grades 1-5) and 1 to 4 p.m. (students entering grades 6-8).

ArtStart’s 2013 poetry summer camp will be led by board member Bill Underwood, former publicist for the Kravis Center, head writer for World Business Review and now of Liberty Media Group.
