Children’s activities include:
- Kids Edition: Brush Strokes Live Studio Classes, starting at 10:30 a.m., where young artists are invited to try their hand at painting. Instruction and painting supplies are free. Participants must be 7 to 13 years old and accompanied by an adult. The sessions will be held at 10:30 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 5 p.m. Onsite registration is first come, first served, so participants should arrive early to secure a spot.
- A Tot Area for children ages 6 and under, with an obstacle course of tents, tunnels, ball pits, and bubbles.
- Little Artist booth, where children can bring out their inner chalk artist by coloring with chalk, and taking photos with their completed artwork at the photo station.
- An accessibility space with sensory-friendly activities for people of all ages.
Music, art, food, artisan creations, painting classes, and locally crafted beer and wine will also be part of the Kaleidoscope experience.
