Children’s Experience Area

The Children’s Experience offers a mini Art in the Park art festival for children. Located adjacent to the main portion of Art in the Park, our goal is to encourage children’s creativity through hands-on art activities beyond coloring sheets. In addition to free, interactive art activities, the Children’s Experience Area also provides two days of family-friendly stage entertainment!

The 2025 Children’s Experience Area is made possible by a sponsorship from the Valentina Tomashosky Foundation. We are so grateful for their support!
