Activations
Young Collectors Club
Cultivate the next generation of art collectors!
This activation is available for kids aged 6-12 and invites them to explore the world of art collecting. For $5, children can independently purchase artwork generously donated by over 100 festival artists, creating an exclusive opportunity for little collectors to have their very own piece of art.
“I want other children to experience the thrill of purchasing their first piece. As much as we need to encourage young artists, we also need to encourage those that will collect their art.”
– Camille Marchese, Executive Director
