What do kids take home?

Plenty. In 2026 kids kept their clay creations, their woven stones from the weaving workshop, the energy bites they made in the cooking workshop and their drawings from the free drawing wall.

Are all activities open to younger kids?

Most are for everyone. In the 2026 program the cooking workshop and film screenings were for ages 6 and up, and the weaving-on-stone workshop for 14 and up.

Is there anything for teens?

Yes. Teen bands play as part of the stage program, there is stand-up comedy, and the stone weaving workshop is for 14 and up.

About

The Museum of Cycladic Art takes its arts festival outside its walls, to the City of Athens Arts Center in Eleftherias Park. Kids drop into clay, weaving, cooking, acrobatics, skateboarding, dance and photography workshops, and the park turns into a stage for theater, teen bands, storytelling, films and stand-up. Every activity takes its title from a prize-winning drawing in the museum's international children's drawing competition, so kids shaped the program.
