Art and Play at the Eldridge Barn

The Yale Children’s Art Camp was held this year June 13-15, at the Eldridge Barn on the Battell Stoeckel estate. This program, which has been running for over 50 years, is offered every summer to all Norfolk children at no charge. Jo Messer, shown here helping some of the children clean up after a morning making food sculptures out of clay, is director of the program. She also oversaw the Northwestern Regional 7 High School drawing and print shop earlier in June.
