Do your children love to create art? Do you dislike the prep work and clean-up that goes into it?
No problem, leave all that to us!
The children’s area at the Oconomowoc Festival of the Arts was intentionally created to allow young artists the chance to dig in and create art in a way that is fun for kids and easy for parents. In this area, children get to don a smock and choose an art medium to explore. From mural painting to face painting – and everything in between – there’s something new and exciting for children to create each year. Activities are best suited for children ages 4 to 10, though there is also a coloring table for even the littlest artist. Also, the art wall is open to anyone who enjoys painting – regardless of age!
Thank you, in advance, for making art a priority for your children.
