For Kids
ACK Kids’ Programs provide spaces where children and art come together, utilizing the art fair venue as the setting. This year, guided by five groups of instructors, participants will explore different ways to enjoy art while moving between “seeing” and “making.” Advance registration is required, and eligibility varies depending on the instructor, so please check each program for details.
Throughout ACK, workshops will be held, and a “Kids’ Studio,” which requires no registration, will also be open. It is a space for “making” where children can drop in whenever they feel like getting creative. Bilingual childcare services are also available by advance registration for children aged 3 months to second grade of elementary school, ensuring that both children and their guardians can enjoy ACK in a safe and supportive environment.
*All programs are free of charge (separate admission to the venue is required)
*Kids’ Studio opening hours vary from day to day
