The Society of Bluffton Artists will offer two sessions of Kids Art Camp this summer, with instructor Pat Diemand, for kids ages 8-12. Each session will be held at the SOBA Center for Creative Arts, located next door to the SOBA Gallery at 8 Church Street in Bluffton. There are 2 one-week sessions, Monday through Friday, 9 – 11 am.
