The Community Folk Art Center Summer Camp is part of the center's Illuminate the Arts Project - an ongoing program that seeks to enrich the lives of children of all ages by offering, state of the art, workshops in the visual, performing and literary arts from a diverse perspective.

The project's overall objective is to introduce the disciplines of theater, poetry, dance and the visual arts to young people, giving them the basic concepts and fundamentals of elocution, movement, written expression and the studio arts. The program seeks to promote artistic exploration, inspire individual creativity and foster understanding and skills regarding art and culture.

Participants engage with visiting professional artists and professors as well as, students of art at Syracuse University. Activities are designed to illuminate each child's inner artist. The environment created encourages self-expression, self-esteem and elevated academic achievement.
