Annual Events

Paintfest

Paintfest attracts around 200 children annually and allows them to create in unique ways. From painting a “brand new” car, courtesy of 5 Star Subaru, to painting upside down “like Michelangelo”, kids are provided a truly unique artistic opportunity. We are theming all of our activities around senses. With more than 10 different painting activities, we expect Paintfest: Space to be bigger than ever.

Please take a look at our Paintfest Website!
