Get ready to dive into a world of color, creativity, and imagination! The Magic City Art Connection’s Imagination Festival is a one-of-a-kind event that offers children an unparalleled opportunity to explore the world of art and their own creative potential. This year, the festival features an incredible lineup of free workshops taught by talented artists who specialize in various art forms and styles. From urban boxcapades to wearable art, wire portraits to hip-hop movement, the Imagination Festival offers something for every young artist looking to expand their skills and ignite their passion for art.
