2026 Art & Soul Fest Kids Zone Partner

We are looking for local partners (churches, non-profits, civic groups, and small businesses) that would be interested in providing a kid's zone activity at the Art and Soul Festival on Saturday, April 18th, 10:00AM-4:00PM. Setup is free and electricity can be provided at no charge. You are welcome to share/advertise information about your entity and your activities in the community. Activities can include games, interactive activities, crafts, learning opportunities, or anything that may match the theme of our festival.  If you are struggling to figure out an activity you can contact Stephanie McKleroy at 706-601-5853 for ideas. Some examples of activities could be face painting, temporary tattoo station, interactive games, or arts and crafts they can take home. Another idea could be an Earth Day theme activity since earth day is in April, a Mother’s Day craft, or a craft or activity about art or soul music. Once you know your activity, it is very important to sign up and included on the form so that we can ensure that there are no repeat activities.
