Meet us in the Meijer Kids Art Zone for Free Art Making Activities!

Visit the Meijer Kids Art Zone during the Festival to let your creativity soar! Our helpful volunteers will lead you through the process of making a 3D paper apple, colorful leaf, or a variety of cool bug creatures that you can either take home with you or add to our 3D tree in the mural tent. Throughout the Festival, we’ll leave the tree on display for you to watch as it transforms and grows before your very eyes. Whether you’re a beginner with no previous art making experience and little hands, or are a more advanced paper crafter, we encourage anyone of any age to join in on this fun artmaking experience.

Please be aware that PCCA will do everything we can to protect your beautiful creations from the elements, but we are unable to reunite you with your art after the Art & Apples Festival is over. If you love what you’ve made, we encourage you to take your work home with you or consider making two (one for us, one for you!) to ensure you can enjoy your finished piece.

Fun for the Whole Family

With a drop-in workshop provided by the Detroit Institute of Arts, there’s much more to create! Step under the DIA’s tent and learn more about current exhibitions and participate in a fun and free make-and-take craft led by DIA Studio Assistants.

When the art making is done, the fun doesn’t stop in the Kids Art Zone. Join us throughout the weekend for volleyball, cornhole, bounce houses, inflatables, archery, larger-than-life games, and much, much more!

Thanks to the support of RARA and Oakland County Parks & Recreation, we’ll have a rotation of enjoyable games and activities scheduled throughout the whole weekend to keep the family entertained.
