KidzQuest offers workshops for children and their families that educate while they entertain. 

The Greater Washington Region is home to many talented children.  Don’t miss performances by some of the area’s most talented young dancers, singers, and instrumentalists on the Youth Talent Showcase Stage. This year’s performers will include the Fillmore Jazz Band, Barnet William's World of Drumming, Halua O'Aulani Hawaiian Dancers, the Maple School Irish Step Dancers, and the Frederick Douglass Oratorical Contest Winners.  Additional performers and a complete stage schedule will be posted soon.

Art Pavilion

Programming in the Art Pavilion will be led by VSA Arts, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the creative power in people with disabilities.  VSA Arts will lead specific craft activities throughout each day.  In addition, they will encourage all children to contribute to a large group art project that will be exhibited in the VSA Arts gallery over the course of the next year. In addition, the International Child Art Foundation and the Fillmore Arts Center will lead craft activities and demonstrations.
