Face Painting ($3 half/ $5 full)
The Kimball Art Center’s Young Artists’ Academy creates your wildest imagination on your face!  You will be amazed as they paint and add sparkles and you become a piece of art.  We use washable, water based Snazaroo paints.  All proceeds from this activity go to support the Kimball Art Center’s 2010-11 Young Artists’ Academy. 

HatRageous! ($9)
Visit HatRageous! with hat artist Laura Mirale to create a one of a kind art hat.  Add many mixed media embellishments such as ribbons, glitter, pom-poms and other miscellaneous art media to create a truly unique hat.

Tie Dye ($10 includes T-shirt)
Learn to dye your very own t-shirt at the Festival. T-shirt artists and volunteers assist children as they help design and tie your shirt in various ways then dip it into colorful dyes and dab on colors.  Unravel it to discover the design and colors you created!

Scavenger Hunt ($1)
Pick up the scavenger hunt questions at the Kids’ Art area ticket table, then as your parents walk the street to check out the 230 artists, answer the questions.  Bring it back to pick out a prize behind unique doors created by the Kimball Art Center’s Young Artists’ Academy.
