Collaborate + Create: Art-Making Experiences 
Join us during the Festival for a series of complimentary hands-on experiences for all ages, presented by PNC Arts Alive!

Paper Plate Monster Faces
The paper plate monster faces craft is a simple, creative activity everyone will love. With paint, paper plates, and a few extras like construction paper and yarn, you can design a Dracula, Frankenstein, witch, pumpkin, and more with endless custom twists. Whether you go spooky or silly, this project is perfect for everyone.

Beaded Corn
Mini beaded fall corn is fun to create and is a festive craft the whole family can do. These adorable beaded corn can be turned into a fall garland or given away to family and friends at the Thanksgiving table.

Pumpkin Pop-Up Cards
Pumpkin Pop-Up Cards are a fun and festive craft perfect for kids and families! Using construction paper, scissors, glue, and markers, participants will learn how to create a playful 3D pumpkin that springs to life when the card is opened. This hands-on activity is ideal for celebrating autumn, Halloween, or Thanksgiving. It encourages creativity and builds fine motor skills as children fold and assemble their pop-up designs. Whether used as a seasonal greeting, party invitation, or handmade decoration, Pumpkin Pop-Up Cards add a personal touch to the fall season.

Scarecrow Construction
Our scarecrow construction tent is a fall family tradition! Join the fun in protecting your fall crops or decorating your home with a handmade scarecrow. Choose from an our assortment of shirts & pants, or bring an outfit from home to stuff with straw!

Chalktopia: Sidewalk Chalk Station
Created by the WheatonArts Teen Arts Council, Chalk-Topia is an interactive installation constructed from repurposed pallets, coated with vibrant chalkboard paint. This creative space invites visitors of all ages to express themselves by drawing directly on the pallet walls. With an array of colorful chalk at their disposal, participants can transform the station into a dynamic, ever-evolving canvas of community creativity.

Sidewalk Chalk
Play games or create works of art using sidewalk chalk! Grab a piece of chalk, let your ideas flow, and watch the pavement become a whimsical world of color.
