Art Discovery Camp with Justine Pechuzal 🦀

Art Discovery Camp with Justin Pechuzal invites young artists to dive into a week of creativity inspired by the wonders of the ocean! Campers will explore marine themes through a thoughtful blend of structured lessons and open-ended artmaking, building new skills while expressing their own unique ideas.

Throughout the week, students will experiment with a variety of mediums—including paint, pastel, watercolor, and colored pencil—while participating in daily drawing exercises focused on sea mammals, tide pool creatures, and the rich beauty of our coastal environment.

As a special extension of the camp experience, students will have the opportunity to have their artwork featured in a community exhibit at the Seward Children’s Museum as part of July’s First Friday Art Walk. This student-led showcase will celebrate the creativity and hard work of our young artists, with artwork remaining on display throughout the month.

Designed for ages 7–10 (or students entering 2nd through 5th grade), this camp offers a fun, supportive space to celebrate both art and our incredible marine habitat—while also giving students the chance to share their work with the broader community.

Dates: June 22–26

Time: 9:00–11:30 AM.

Come create, explore, and be inspired!

Jewelry Making Camp: Necklaces & Earrings with Miss Haugh!

This camp invites young artists to explore the art of wearable design through a week of hands-on creativity. Campers will learn foundational jewelry-making techniques while creating their own unique pieces inspired by personal style and imagination.

Throughout the week, students will experiment with a variety of materials and methods including macramé with imitation sinew—to craft necklaces, pendants, beads, and earring designs. With a balance of guided instruction and open-ended exploration, participants will build skills while developing their own creative voice.

As an optional extension of the camp experience, students may purchase a take-home jewelry-making toolkit, allowing them to continue creating beyond the classroom. This kit includes essential tools such as needle-nose pliers, wire cutters, a macramé tying board, and a storage container. All students will have access to shared tools and materials during camp, but this option is ideal for those who wish to keep designing at home. Please note that this option is only available to add on before May 25th as it will take time to order and prepare. 

Designed for ages 11–14 (or students entering 6th through 9th grade), this camp offers a supportive and engaging environment to explore craftsmanship, creativity, and self-expression through wearable art.

Instructor: Miss Haugh

Dates: June 22–26

Time: 12:30–3:00 p.m.

Under Paris Skies - An evening of Gypsy Jazz with Tim Kliphuis & Jimmy Grant

On February 7, 2026, the Seward Arts Council invites you to step Under Paris Skies for an unforgettable evening of music, romance, and virtuosity. Internationally acclaimed violinist Tim Kliphuis and guitarist Jimmy Grant will take the stage for a live concert performance celebrating the timeless tradition of Gypsy jazz.
Born in the cafés and dance halls of 1930s Paris, Gypsy jazz blends swinging rhythms, rich harmonies, and dazzling improvisation. Popularized by legendary musicians like Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, the style is known for its infectious energy, lyrical melodies, and spontaneous interplay between instruments. It’s jazz that feels both sophisticated and joyful, music meant to move you.

Doors Open at 6:00 pm
The evening will feature two 45-minute sets, with a 15-minute intermission, allowing time to soak in the atmosphere before returning for more inspired performances.

Following the concert, guests are invited to a reception at the Gateway Hotel, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the artists, share a drink, and continue the conversation sparked by the music.

Join us for a night of world-class musicianship, European charm, and community connection—right here in Seward!
