ART PROJECTS, MARIONETTES, HAWAIIAN CRAFT, BALLOONS & MORE TO BE ENJOYED ON FAMILY ART DAY AT THE FESTIVAL OF ARTS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3
From 12noon – 3pm, the grounds will be full of fun activities, hands-on art projects, and more! Family Art Day is free with Festival Admission, and children 12 and under receive free admission all summer long.
When children arrive, they will be given a booklet containing coupons that they’ll get to redeem for the different projects and attractions. Kids will be able to create their own works of art at the Festival’s ceramic and mixed media workshops and even have the opportunity to make Hawaiian crafts and pendants with Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa.
Parents and children will enjoy “Art Quest” – an interactive treasure hunt where families explore and investigate the art exhibit to while answering kid-friendly questions. It’s a great way to inspire conversation with the whole family about topics like color, proportion, realism vs. abstraction, 2D vs 3D and all the elements of design.
Additionally, the grounds will be alive with entertainment for all ages with marionette shows, balloon art, face painting, live music and more! Gina’s Alfresco will even be getting in on the fun offering a free snack for children.
