Art Projects, Marionettes, Balloons and More to be Enjoyed on Family Art Day at the Festival of Arts, Saturday, July 19

 

Families and children are invited to enjoy a day full of art and entertainment at the Festival of Arts Family Art Day on Saturday, July 19, 2014.

From 12noon – 3pm, the grounds will be full of fun activities, hands-on art projects, and more! Family Art Day is free with Festival Admission, and children 12 and under receive free admission all summer long.

 



When children arrive, they will be given a booklet containing coupons that they’ll redeem for different projects and attractions. Kids will be able to create their own works of art at the Festival’s ceramic and mixed media workshops.



Parents and children will enjoy “Art Quest” – an interactive treasure hunt where participants will explore and investigate the art exhibit to answer kid-friendly questions. It’s a great way to inspire conversation with the whole family about topics like color, dimension, medium, and types of art.



Additionally, the grounds will be alive with entertainment for all ages with marionette shows, balloon art, face painting, live music by The Fugowies and more!


“Family Art Day is always a favorite day at the Festival,” said Susan Davis, director of special events for the Festival of Arts. “If your family has never participated, come down and join the fun!”
