Bring kids to Sunday Art Splash at the docks

Kids Art Splash begins at noon on the town dock on Sunday, July 6

The Huntsville Festival of the Arts is not just geared to adults.

Not to be forgotten on the opening weekend of the festival’s summer season is the family favourite, Art Splash. It’s fun for all ages and is offered free as part of the festival’s youth programming.

Running from noon to 3 p.m. at the town dock park, adjacent to Pizza Pizza, the Art Splash is an interactive afternoon of arts and crafts.

Organized by Tia Pearse and her volunteer crew from Tawingo College, the afternoon offers lots of fun and educational activities.

So, come down to the dock this Sunday afternoon and paint a picture, get a tattoo or make a craft. It’s a great way to while away a couple of hours.
