You can now purchase your Children's Art Adventure wristbands on our website!!! You can purchase by clicking here. Please be sure to bring a copy of your receipt to the event on August 6, 2016, to receive your wristbands. The Children's Art Adventure is a themed arts festival unlike any other art opportunity for children in this area. This event offers children ages 3–12 from Tipp City and surrounding communities, the opportunity to explore many forms of art and different types of media at dozens of art stations. Some examples of projects are shoebox guitars, tie dye T-shirts, bookmaking, origami, necktie snakes, pendulum painting, recycled materials crafts and a community art project. Participation in art stations requires the purchase of a wristband. Admission allows unlimited workshop participation and includes all supplies for the projects. Some workshops may have a minimum age restriction due to the complexity of the project, and parents are encouraged to participate with younger children. We look forward to seeing you!!! We are honored to have these folks in our corner. . .
