Thanks to local sponsors the event is free.
The popular projects of Masterpiece T-Shirts with Parents as Teachers and Box Town will be back this year.

The Hannibal Arts Council created the Wild & Wacky Art Adventure to provide a positive activity in which parents and children can interact, work side by side, explore creativity, and in some ways strengthen the sense of family. In order for the event to be FREE, local businesses and organizations are sponsoring the event in partnership with the Hannibal Arts Council. In addition to many local individual, business and civic sponsors. Each year over 200 children and children-at-heart enjoy the event.
