Specialties
Carlsbad Art Farm is back for another great summer of art instruction and fun on the farm. At Art Farm, students in Grades 2 — 8 learn to draw and paint from live animal models and the natural surroundings. Students work in small groups with artist instructors in our outdoor studios. As a 10-acre natural woodland habitat, one of the last remaining in Coastal San Diego County, Art Farm offers students a unique opportunity to observe and appreciate this remarkable habitat while learning authentic art skills. Students have plenty of opportunity to visit with our animals. Camp sessions are one week and continue through mid-August. Forms, schedules and more are available under the «Camp» tab at our website. Art Farm also offers Saturday morning studio classes. Art Farm is a great place for school field trips, scouting adventures, birthday parties, and more.
History
Established in 2005.
Carlsbad Art Farm is located on a private 10-acre woodland property down an undeveloped valley in Coastal Carlsbad. The Coman family has owned this property since the early 1960s. Director and owner Perrin Weston Coman established Art Farm as a place where students could come to spend time in and learn to appreciate this beautiful habitat, it’s wildlife, and resident farm animals while learning authentic art skills and about the natural sciences.
Perrin grew up on a farm and studied studio art at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. Perrin brings the studio art education method to her students, using outdoor studios, highly skilled instructors, animals, and the natural habitat to inspire students.
