About this event

Join the Vanka Murals and LIGHT at the Millvale Music Festival where you'll be able to make your own buttons, create your own zines, and go on a scavenger hunt exploring Millvale through the lens of art, love and justice.

Make buttons with unique designs, create your own zine, and participate in a scavenger hunt around Millvale with your family!

We are excited to present family art making activities at the Millvale Music Festival on Saturday, May 18.  These activities will allow for exploration of a national, artistic treasure around the themes of art, justice, and love — as well as connect with the community around Millvale.

This rich collaboration between the Vanka Murals and LIGHT is building on a community event that is already free of charge to help create equitable access to community arts initiatives for all ages and abilities.

Join us at two locations at the festival — in the heart of the festival in Millvale and up the hill at the Vanka Murals in St. Nicholas Croatian Church. (The Music Festival is providing a free shuttle up the hill!) To check out the full schedule of events for the day, visit the Festival’s website. The Vanka Murals will be hosting a selection of musicians in the sanctuary from 11am-3pm, all are welcome.
