Interactive Art Vendors (Children's Park)

Thank you for your interest in participating in the Chain of Parks Art Festival! Please be sure to click "Show More" to read over all the key information before applying, as we have done our best to answer all of your questions before you submit your application!  
 

The Children's Park (located in Randolph Park) is one of the most popular, family-friendly sections of the Festival! This interactive area is designed for thousands of kids to run, play, learn, and use their hands to create their own works of art! Our goal is to provide a free, fun, and educational area where children can get excited about art, while also helping organizations that focus on the arts and local heritage in our community gain visibility through our 40,000+ visitors.

This decorated area is comprised of Pop-Up Art Studios, Local Culture tents, Pop-up Entertainers, Interactive Art Vendors, and the historical Jacques Le Moyne Encampment with live historical reenactments!
