🎨 ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Led by local Guam artist and entrepreneur Michelle Pier, this camp is for students who love art and want to experience what it’s like to be a professional artist.

Students will:

Be given the space & supplies to practice acrylic painting techniques
Explore the creative process, including managing mindsets
Understand how art can be a career
Learn about quality supplies, budgeting, portfolio-building, and marketing
Have access to books, resources, and guidance throughout

No food is provided, but snacks are welcome.

Students will be informed of exhibit opportunities they may participate in.

“It has been incredibly inspiring to allow my students to choose what they want to create, and see how their style comes through in the process.

Every class is a new painting created. They are given the space, supplies, and encouragement to keep going. I share with them my real world experiences as a full-time artist and entrepreneur. They get to witness when customers come in to inquire about classes or commissioning an artwork. They’ve seen the money be handed over and heard the conversations about pricing and the painting process.

I show them how to catalog and take good photos of their work, to build a portfolio. I share with them opportunities for selling prints, or participating in exhibits and popup events.

If you feel your child would benefit from having a safe and chill space to create freely with guidance from a professional artist, sign them up now while spots are available.” ~Michelle

About the Instructor

Michelle Pier is a Guam-born artist, creative entrepreneur, and mother of two. Over the past 20 years, she has created, exhibited, and sold hundreds of original paintings both locally and internationally. In addition to her studio work, Michelle has been dedicated to fostering creativity in her community through events, classes, and workshops focused on painting, personal expression, and the business of art.

With a passion for empowering the next generation of artists, Michelle especially encourages youth to explore art not just as a hobby, but as a fulfilling and viable career. Through this program, she shares practical tools for acrylic painting, choosing the right supplies, budgeting, building a portfolio, navigating the creative process, and marketing work as a professional artist.

“Most importantly, I just want to share my experiences with these young artists, and some of the things I’ve learned since I started in middle school. I want to give them the space and resources to create, share, and even sell their artwork. When I was their age, I remember selling drawings in a store and participating in local art projects, but I didn’t have much of a blueprint. Now, with over two decades of experience, I feel I have something valuable to offer.”
— Michelle

Michelle believes that every artist has a unique style and story worth sharing. Her approach combines creative freedom with thoughtful strategy, helping others build confidence, overcome self-doubt, and find methods that align with their personality and goals.
