Children's Activity Area
The Children’s Activity Area, coordinated by the Tampa Museum of Art, gives children the unique opportunity to learn actual techniques from our participating artists. Kids can also color, paint and draw - and experience being real artists of their own. This year's focus is on art for the visually impaired. Special thanks to Delta Gamma Fraternity for partnering on this initiative.
Art Collectors in Training Program: Kids taking ACTion for Kids
The Art Collectors in Training (ACT) program was organized to encourage the appreciation of the arts in young people, ages 6 through 14, as an opportunity for them to view and purchase artwork on exhibit from artists participating in the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts.
Young people shop in a “kids-only” shopping zone. Most items can be purchased for $5 – $10, with a small portion of the more valuable pieces of art priced slightly higher. Each artwork is labeled with the artist’s names and booth locations so the young art collectors and their accompanying adult(s) can meet with the artists face-to-face. By promoting art ownership, the ACT program provides young people with avenues for personal growth and community relationships. Through ACT, we are investing in the future of our youth and our community.
