MEET OUR INTERNS

Art Camp 504 is more than an art camp — we’re a community of kids, teens, artists, neighbors, and dogs building wildly ambitious, interactive art together. Each year we create a house float at the Tigermen Den, displayed from January to May, then bring it indoors to continue transforming it into an immersive Summer Camp set.

Interns are essential to this process, working alongside teaching artists to build large-scale sets, props, and signage. By the end of the program, you’ll have strong portfolio pieces from real, collaborative projects.

Check out the photos below to see some of our interns’ work!
