Bihl Haus Arts is proud to announce the launch of Camp Bihl Haus — a summer adult art workshop series offering 15 hands-on classes taught by 10 professional local artists and educators. Classes run Fridays and Saturdays from August 7 through September 26 at Bihl Haus Arts, 2803 Fredericksburg Road.

With a tagline of "No Lanyards Required," Camp Bihl Haus brings the spirit of summer camp to adult creative life — offering a welcoming, no-experience-needed environment for San Antonians to explore new artistic mediums, connect with the community, and support a beloved local arts nonprofit.

Classes are open to adults 18 and older. No prior art experience is required for most classes. Pricing ranges from $25 to $50 per class or 3-session course. All class fees are tax-deductible donations to Bihl Haus Arts.

“Camp Bihl Haus grew out of our belief that creativity doesn’t have an age limit,” said Nicholas Gonzaes, Bihl Haus Arts Executive Director. “We wanted to build something that celebrates adult learners, supports working local artists, and makes art education genuinely accessible to our community. This summer, we’re opening our doors to anyone who’s ever wanted to try something new.”
