The K- FEST Children’s Art Competition aims to celebrate local artistic talent as well as cultivating community spirit and celebrating creative diversity. Furthermore, the competition aims to serve as a valuable and enriching experience for students, providing them with a platform to showcase their talent and engage with the vibrant arts community at the festival in Killorglin.
