Kids Celebrate the Arts

Aspen Trees by Spencer Hoover, Age 9

There are many ways to express ourselves and how we see the world. Art is one way to communicate to others. VCTA’s ongoing Kids Celebrate the Arts program encourages art education for children in Victor, Cripple Creek and the surrounding area. It’s our way of giving back to the community. Our objective is to introduce our younger citizens to art and to help them develop their own unique form of communication through painting.

Kids Celebrate the Arts invites kids up to 17 years of age to free “en plein air” (painting outdoors on location) art instruction during the month of August at the Victor Community Center located at the corner of 2nd and Portland in Victor, Colorado.

Professional artists will teach classes and art supplies will be provided. Kids are encouraged to participate and then have their creations displayed in a KCTA art show at the Victor Elks Lodge on Friday, August 31st through Monday, September 3. Cash prizes will be awarded.
