The 25th Anniversary of the Children's Arts Festival is taking place the first weekend of February! The art exhibition and opening reception is taking place on Friday, February 7th for First Friday with the Arts, but even more exciting things are taking place on Saturday the 8th as well! Keep your eyes peeled for more information on those celebrations.This is our most joyous and colorful event of the year, and we are honored to work with so many wonderful art educators and student artists. This year, we encouraged teachers to work with the theme "Yellow Submarine" and lean into 60s pop art and colorful imagery. 15 teachers and 200 students blew this theme out of the water! We can't wait for you to see this exhibition.
Join us at Scout Hall to celebrate youth art! We have a full evening of fun planned, and hope to see you there.
