This year’s theme was “Experiencing the Artfulness or Experiencing the Artistry,” which reflected our university’s vision of nurturing and celebrating creativity and innovation. Our sculpture camp was a platform for students, faculty, and artists to showcase their talents, learn from each other, and explore new possibilities in the field of art.
