Henrico 4-H and 4 Art 2 Heart to host virtual youth art camp April 1-4

Henrico 4-H Youth Development and the nonprofit 4 Art 2 Heart will offer a free virtual art camp for youth from April 1-4, during Henrico Schools' spring break.

The camp will be held each day through Zoom from 10 a.m.to 11:30 am. Led by Sisters Nikhita and Rithanya Saravanan from 4 Art 2 Heart, the sessions will focus on different styles of art and highlight festivals around the world.

Students will have the opportunity to learn about the Obon Festival in Japan, the Noto Flower Festival in Italy, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico, and the Tsechus Festival in Bhutan. The Virtual Spring Break Arts Camp is free and open to students ages 5 to 18. 4-H membership is not required. Registration for the event is accepted online. Nikhita and Rithanya Saravanan, both Henrico 4-H members themselves, were inspired to start 4 Art 2 Heart to help others unlock their artistic talents and skills while relieving stress during times of anxiety and uncertainty.
