kids Inclusion art show 2026
The beloved Kids Inclusion Art Show is returning for its 3rd year in 2026, and with an incredible surge in participation, we are calling on our community for support to make this inspiring event possible!
The first year’s show was a heartfelt success, with over 470 young artists proudly seeing their creations displayed for the community to enjoy. In the second year, the response had been overwhelming — more than 2,000 children had registered to be part of the 2025 show, making it the largest children’s art show of its kind. Now in year 3, we have again nearly 2000 children participating.
We are also incredibly excited to see the first expansion pilot project now on display at the Stirling Library in Stirling, Ontario—made possible through community collaboration with Stirling Rotary and support for the arts.
We invite you to experience both shows through a self-guided art tour celebrating the voices, imagination, and individuality of local children.
✨ Quinte West Opening Night:
Friday, May 22 from 4–8 pm
Show runs until June 19
✨ Stirling Library Show:
Wednesday, May 12 through June 23
The Kids Inclusion Art Show is built on the belief that every child deserves a place to shine — regardless of ability, background, or challenges. This event offers a platform where they are all seen, celebrated, and supported. Participation is completely free for all children, and admission is free for families and the community to enjoy — because inclusion should never come with a price tag. With over 2,000 young artists involved, we now face a project budget of nearly $20,000 — covering materials, supplies, and event operations.
Without additional community support, we cannot accommodate the overwhelming number of children who want to be part of this special event.
How You Can Help:
Sponsor the show (corporate, business, social clubs, or individual sponsors welcome!)
Donate any amount — every $8 helps one more child participate!
Join us on Opening Night: Friday, June 6, 2025, from 4–8 PM!
As this project continues to grow, we are actively looking for other like-minded communities interested in bringing the Kids Inclusion Art Show to their area.
