CINCINNATI KING at Playhouse in the Park – February 27
A baseball-themed Family Concert with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra – April 3
One more in May, TBA very soon!
Each trip has three parts. Before the event, we'll learn about what we're going to see and meet some of the people who make it. Then we'll experience it together. Afterward, we'll talk about what stood out and make art in response, led by teaching artists Sergio Aguillón-Mata and Annie Ruth.
We take care of the details. Every trip includes bus transportation from WFAC, tickets, and a meal.

The colors are already there. What will your child discover in them?
In this playful and calm art workshop, kids start with a page of color and add their own lines, doodles, shapes, and patterns to turn it into something completely their own. That’s reverse coloring: instead of coloring inside the lines, you get to invent them!
Instructor Amy Owens will introduce simple drawing techniques and patterns, then help kids follow their imaginations. They can create intricate designs, discover unexpected shapes, or see where their doodles take them.
It’s a chance to slow down, explore, and enjoy making art without worrying about getting it “right.” No drawing experience needed, and all supplies are included.

The colors are already there. What will your child discover in them?
In this playful and calm art workshop, kids start with a page of color and add their own lines, doodles, shapes, and patterns to turn it into something completely their own. That’s reverse coloring: instead of coloring inside the lines, you get to invent them!
Instructor Amy Owens will introduce simple drawing techniques and patterns, then help kids follow their imaginations. They can create intricate designs, discover unexpected shapes, or see where their doodles take them.
It’s a chance to slow down, explore, and enjoy making art without worrying about getting it “right.” No drawing experience needed, and all supplies are included.

🎨🎵 Art + Music = One Happy Sprout!
Get a discount when you sign up for 🥁 Music Sprouts as well!
To give your sprout a well-rounded creative and developmental experience, we recommend enrolling in both ☀️ Art Sprouts and 🥁 Music Sprouts! When you register for both 10-week programs, you'll receive a $50 discount. Instead of paying $25 per class, your cost drops to just $20 per class—that's 15 hours of enriching music and art experiences for just $200 over each 10-week session.
To receive the discount, make sure you have both Art Sprouts and Music Sprouts in your cart at checkout and it will automatically apply. Discounts cannot be rewarded retroactively.
Saturday, February 27, 2027 · 12:30 – 6:00 PM at WFAC
While you're at the Playhouse, your younger kids can spend the afternoon at WFAC exploring the same music in a hands-on way. They'll listen to King Records songs, learn how records are made, dance, and design their own album covers.
This add-on is for families registered for the CINCINNATI KING trip.
How it works
Drop off at WFAC at 12:30 PM when the bus departs. Pick up at 6:00 PM when it returns. If the bus runs late, we'll stay with your kids until you're back.
Kids are with [two] WFAC staff members for the whole session.
We provide two peanut-free snacks, or you can pack your own.
All art supplies are included.
