EAC Art Camp 2025

EAC Art Camp: A Full House!

The 2025 Emanuel Arts Council Summer Camp was held July 21-23 at the Vann Community House from 9AM to 12 noon. A total of 20 Emanuel County students in rising third through fifth grades attended the three-day camp free of charge. For the ninth year in a row, the camp was fully sponsored by the Mill Creek Foundation.

Students were given art projects to do every day by instructors Terrie Daniel, Mark Lillquist and Madison Funderburk. Among the numerous fun assignments were paintings, drawings, decoupage, clay sculptures and beadwork. One of the more instructional art projects was how to lace and tie shoes. Students were given cardboard charts of shoes, which they could paint and then thread through with colorful laces and learn to tie knots.

"It was probably the biggest art camp we've ever had," said Jacquie Brasher, Executive Director of the Emanuel Arts Council. "The interest in art camp just keeps growing each year. We had quite a few students on the waiting list this year and unfortunately could not accommodate all of them." Brasher said registration for art camp each year starts early and slots fill up very quickly. "There are only twenty places available so parents should like and follow the EAC Facebook page for announcements of all programing," she added.

Attending Art Camp this year were: Liam Allen, Carlie Beasley, Amastin Beggs, Harmoni Byrd, Walter Clark, Trott Everett, Sophia Gay, Grace Hadaway, Ivy Hall, Isabella Jenkins, Finn Lamb, Micah Meadows, Adalynn Mimbs, Oliver Nash, Lawson Neely, Gentry Sheppard, Rayce Sheppard, Harper Sherman, Sara Sherman and Sadie Williamson.

The Emanuel Arts Council, Inc. (EAC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose purpose is to empower and grow the community through cultural programs in all areas of the arts. The EAC operates through donations, fundraisers and grants.
