It is a great pleasure to announce that for the first time the Victoria International Arts Festival is presenting a mini-Festival for children. Addressing four distinct disciplines, to include Music, Art, Story-Telling, and Science, this is an innovative project that targets children between the ages of 5 and 12. Experts in the respective fields have been identified and all activities will be hands-on and practice based. For details please see the range we are offering below.

There are limits as to the number of children that can be accepted. Please send an email to [email protected] if you wish your child/children to enrol. Make sure you specify which discipline/s you wish them to attend as well as the time-slot that would work best for you. Acceptance is on a first-come first-served basis. As with all VIAF events, registration is free.
