For a $3 registration fee, kids choose the workshop in their age category and learn to draw with different mediums and styles, practice singing, dancing and improvisational acting, and create a craft item to take home. The workshops are led by individuals who have been trained and practice in the field. Volunteers assist children as needed, supervise the activity and serve lunch and entertainment is provided at lunch to create a full-day of activities.
This is a great example of how collaborating with other agencies can give your Optimist Club greater outreach in your community. Often clubs will write a check and walk away. Optimist volunteers will be all about the Kids Art in the park Day sharing in the smiles and helping children expand their horizons through artistic expression.
Please take a look at the flyer and consider how you might provide a Kids Art in the Park Day in your community.
