BETHLEHEM, PA\u2014\u00a0As part of the family fun at Musikfest, Crayola is partnering with ArtsQuest for a coloring contest featuring the official Musikfest 2020 poster artwork created by\u00a0artist and illustrator\u00a0Doug Boehm. The coloring contest is one of the many visual arts activities being offered this year as part of the virtual festival.\u00a0<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

As part of the Musikfest poster coloring contest, Crayola and ArtsQuest will be offering daily prizes featuring Crayola products, as well as one grand prize awarded at the end of the festival. Families can download coloring sheets at\u00a0www.musikfest.org\/lineup\/virtual-familienplatz\/<\/a>. Completed sheets can then be sent back via the ink on the Virtual Familienplatz webpage. Select entries will also be featured in the Banana Factory\u2019s Instagram stories during Musikfest.<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

In keeping with its family focus, Musikfest has also developed free\u00a0Take-Home Art Kits<\/b>\u00a0that families can pick up to engage in art activities during the festival. The art kits can be picked up at the Banana Factory daily Aug. 3-7 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. In addition, the ArtsQuest Visual Arts Team is developing a series of daily videos that will teach families how to create artwork based on common objects found around the home. Videos will be posted online at\u00a0www.musikfest.org<\/a>.<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCrayola has been a long-time partner with ArtsQuest and is excited to bring creativity, fun and color to Musikfest virtually this year,\u201d says Colleen Mooney McGee, Crayola Manager of Community & Government Relations.\u00a0 \u201cThe Musikfest Poster coloring contest allows children and families to creatively express themselves and engage in activities they have traditionally enjoyed during Musikfest.\u00a0 The Crayola take-home art kits are a fun and safe way to recreate that experience in the backyard, kitchen, or any space without compromising the Musikfest celebration.\u201d<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n
