Artrageous Kids Art Festival

Location: Dowdy Park, Nags Head
Starts: 10:00 am
Ends: 3:00 pm

Dare County Arts Council will host the Artrageous Kids Art Festival from 10am-3pm at Dowdy Park in Nags Head. Artrageous is a free, family-friendly event featuring kids art activities, live music, local artisans selling their creative goods and a variety of local restaurants selling lunch and snack items.

Artrageous was started in 1989. The annual, free community event brings families together to paint, sculpt, dance, sing and be creative.

Artrageous is organized and staffed by volunteer artists, musicians, crafters, dancers, writers, photographers and other creative people who dedicate their time and energy to the event each year.

Proceeds from Artrageous benefit DCAC cultural arts programming and the Artrageous Youth Scholarship Fund, which awards one scholarship to a senior at each Dare County High School.
