A weekend full of creativity and exploration is in store for the young visitors of the 49th Annual Art & Apples Festival at the Kids Art Zone as the festival welcomes new sponsor, Meijer, as announced in a press release. Rochester’s local Meijer, located at the crossroads of Auburn and Rochester roads, is looking forward to raising the bar this year by bringing a number of new activities to the Kids Art Zone.
Oakland County Parks and Recreation will also be on-site with large-scale inflatables and the ever-popular rock climbing wall, giving kids and parents space to have some fun, while the Detroit Institute of Arts will be offering a make-and-take art project. Other arts and activities will be offered by Metro Parent Magazine and Paint Creek Center for the Arts over the course of the weekend.
“We are thrilled to welcome Meijer as the Kids Art Zone sponsor,” said Tami Salisbury, executive director of Paint Creek Center for the Arts. “Meijer has a proud tradition and dedication in community involvement and the Meijer Kids Zone will help engage a younger audience to arts and culture activities.” “Meijer was built on the fundamental philosophy of supporting the communities we serve, and are looking forward to a fun weekend at the festival,” Meijer Spokeswoman Christina Fecher said. In addition to sponsoring the Kids Art Zone, Meijer will have an on-site booth providing giveaway items to festival patrons.
