Theme: Rivers to Rainbows
We are all about being friends of the earth with a focus on being eco-friendly. Rivers, Earth, and Sky are subcategories for planning. You are welcome to have fun with your own dress on the day!

Activity

KAC will have a limited supply of tents, tables and table coverings. If you are able to bring your own, please do so. Your table and tent must be decorated to go with the theme. You must produce an arts-related activity that fits the Rivers to Rainbows theme and is eco friendly at your booth from 10am-4pm. The activity must be provided free of charge for the children of our community.

Cost

While there is no fee associated with the event itself, all organizations are required to have an active Kamloops Arts Council membership. This is to cover the cost of insurance.

Covid-19 Response
The Kamloops Arts Council cannot guarantee that all activities, performances, etc., will be possible under future Covid-19 regulations. In the case that further restrictions are needed due to Covid-19 regulations, you must have a backup plan for your workshop/activity.

Please note, as prepared and preventative as we try to be, there remains the possibility that the Children’s Arts Festival may be cancelled under Public Health Orders. This is the worst-case scenario but is entirely possible.

Criminal Record Check
For Children’s Arts Festival, you are required to complete a vulnerable sector criminal record check as we will be working with children. As you are not employed by the KAC, you will complete a volunteer criminal record check and payment is not required. After you apply, you will be given a letter that can be taken to your nearest RCMP detachment for a request.
