Arts Festival
The Little School's Arts Festival is a longstanding tradition of joy, art and community. Our first annual children's art show began in 1960. Since then, the festival has continued to flourish, celebrating our students' creativity and inviting families to experience the magic of the arts together. From colorful artwork to hands-on experiences, it’s a wonderful chance to connect, create and celebrate as a community.
Current, incoming and alum families, faculty, staff and friends are all welcome to drop in during the event. There will be activities and experiences for all ages to enjoy. Come share in the imagination, joy and togetherness that make our community so special!

Location: The Little School Campus

Crafty Cuisine: Make Memories with Personalized Plate Projects!
It’s your chance to turn your kids' artwork into cool, BPA-free, dishwasher-safe melamine plates that work for everyday use, camping, outdoor parties and gifts. Register and come plate with us at PGA's Crafty Cuisine booth during the Arts Festival on Saturday, May 16, 2026 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.! This is a tradition from the Makila Sims family and many students have one from every year they attend the school.
Pre-register for faster check-in or register at the event. Student art must be drawn on Crafty Cuisine templates (which can be printed at home and will be provided at the Arts Festival). Art must be submitted during the Arts Festival.
