At Art Camp, we believe that the arts have the power to transform individuals and communities. Our philosophy is grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity for creativity, and that art can be a powerful tool for personal growth and social change.
Nature sparks our artistic exploration, inspiring appreciation for our planet and nurturing resourcefulness and imagination.
Meet Camp Director Marietta Bolster.
She comes from a lengthy background of artists and nature enthusiasts.
A Skaneateles native, her journey began with a BA in International Affairs from George Washington University and Minor in Fine Arts. She advanced her expertise with a Graphic Design degree in California and broadened her skill set through a Digital Marketing program at Harvard University. She started her career in her family’s business, which began with witty, beautifully illustrated greeting cards and grew into a dynamic company producing handmade, hand-painted gifts distributed internationally. As Marketing Director, she played a key role in production and manufacturing, helping create the company’s signature, exquisite ornaments and gifts. Her diverse academic pursuits, coupled with extensive travel experiences, fuel her passion for unraveling the complexities of cultures and finding the common threads in our beautifully diverse world.
