This free, hands-on, community art experience is primarily geared toward children under 10 years of age and children must be accompanied by an adult. The line-up of projects this year include play-dough making, decorative wands, creating musical instruments, and Doodle Top drawing which captures a “playful art”  theme for a celebration packed with fun. 

​

Many talented volunteers assist the children with art projects that can get a bit messy. The event is free and children must be accompanied by an adult.
