Children’s Art Day aims to inspire children, teachers and families to engage with the visual arts. Organisers across the UK are invited to devise participatory visual arts events, and will receive support from engage to run and publicise their events, and balloons and stickers.

It's free to register and the first 150 organisers to do so will be eligible to apply for a grant of £50. There are still a few grants available- register as early as possible to be in with a chance!
