Fine Art Fair Kids Art Festival

Sponsored by

10:00am – 5:00pm Saturday & Sunday

Everyone can be an artist for the day. Work with teachers and volunteers to create your own unique art project.

Most of the projects require either one or two tickets ($1 each), and include whimsical whirly-gigs, design-your-own-tile, and anything-is-possible puppets. You can also make your own picture frame or clay creation. Kids can design their own tote bag or have their face painted for additional tickets.

The mystery drawing project and the popsicle stick picture frames are free and a fun way to be a part of the excitement.

All proceeds from the art projects benefit community outreach programs at the Peoria Art Guild.

2010 Kids Art Festival projects

Tickets are $1 each and will be available at the ticket booth inside the Kids Art Festival area.

The Peoria Art provides visual arts education to members of our community of all ages and skill levels through our community outreach programs. Proceeds from the Kids Art Festival help us to make that happen.

Design Your Own Tile (1 ticket)

Kids will have a great time transforming a blank tile into a one-of-a-kind piece masterpiece, which can be displayed as art or used as a trivet.

Whimsical Puppets (2 tickets)

Everyone loves puppets! This project supplies kids will all they need to create their own hand puppet. Helpful hint: make more than one and put on your own puppet show at home!

Clay Creations (2 tickets)

Googly eyes and a few pipe cleaners are all you need to transform a dull block of clay into an artsy character. Perfect for inspiring sculptors and animators!

Whirly Gigs (1 ticket)

After personalizing the whirly gig disc with their own creative design and attaching a string, young artists will be all set to start twirling, for hours of fun. Artwork by famous Op Art artists will serve as the inspiration for this fun project.

Face Painting (2-5 tickets)

After all of their creating, young artists can take a break and have someone else paint them a masterpiece they can wear! Kids will have the option of a small design (2 tickets) or full face design (5 tickets).

Design Your Own Tote Bag (5 tickets)

Using fabric markers & crayons, kids will have everything they need to turn a boring tote bag into an artistic expression they can carry all year long! Helpful hint: heat sets the colors, so parents…iron or throw the bag in the dryer when you get home.
