The Children’s Creative Corridor and its workshops was a great resource for my daughter.

Accessibility to everyone (meaning FREE):  It is important for local families to have events that are free to attend. I have no issue with “pay per activity” for certain activities and raffles, etc to encourage donation. However, to ask an admission fee up from will deter many people from the event…

This festival really connects with children especially. They get to experience these awesome creations made from drawing on a sidewalk with chalk! I believe it really inspires them to think creatively and artistically. Art programs in school are constantly losing funding so it is important for parents to have events like this available to all to attend as a supplement.

Thanks!
