Fine Arts Camp Banner“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did
something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it,
they just saw something.   That’s because they were able to connect experiences
they’ve had and synthesize new things.  And the reason they were able to do that
was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more
about their experiences than other people.”

-Steve Jobs

FineArtsCampPhoto1The Seldovia Fine Arts Camp was made possible with funding by Rasmuson Foundation through the Arts in Education Fund, and is administered, under contract, by the Alaska State Council on the Arts.
