MURAL CAMP

If you’re a creative teenager or young adult, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to work hands on with local muralist, Tessa Hall Duquette, as she guides you through the process of painting your very own mural. 

What’s it take to design & install a mural from start to finish? By the end of this camp, you will have the knowledge and experience needed to apply to art festivals or even get hired for commissioned work!


FOR: Creative teens, preteens & young adults


WHEN: Art Camp is a series where each camper will attend all 4 days.


There are two options for camp—a July session and an August session. Be sure to register for the right one as the two sessions are not interchangeable.

Session 1: July 18th, 20th, 25th, and 27th 

Each day will be from 6pm to 8pm. 


Session 2: August 8th, 10th, 15th, and 17th

Each day will be from 6pm to 8pm. 

WHERE: Tessa’s art studio

The Garage VB

1703 Mediterranean Ave

Virginia Beach, VA 23451

INVESTMENT: $600 per creative camper. All materials provided. Gallery exhibit included.

SPACE IS LIMITED: To provide the best experience for each creative camper, there are only 6 spots available for each session. 

WHAT HAPPENS AT ART CAMP: 

  • You will be taught the tools and techniques needed for painting large-scale art. 

  • You’ll design and install a mural with expert guidance from start to finish.

  • Then you will showcase their art at their very own gallery opening (and yes, you’re invited!).

In just 4 days, you will learn exactly what it takes to create a mural from start to finish. 


On day 1, Tessa will teach the creative campers about the process required to prepare to paint a street art design.  You’ll learn the tools needed and tricks of the trade to make sure your finished painting looks as good as you imagined. By the end of day one, your mural design will be traced and ready to paint.

On days 2 and 3, you will outline and  paint their mural with Tessa’s help and guidance from start to finish.

On day 4, we’ll celebrate with a gallery opening after the finishing touches are finalized. At 7:30pm, friends and family are invited to celebrate your teen’s hard work and creativity with an exhibit opening and artist panel.

Don’t wait. Spots are limited and expected to fill up fast. You don’t want to miss out on this chance to fine tune your creativity.
