Color by Numbers

CREATE

Young artists are invited to bring one of Oakland Cemetery’s most iconic landmarks to life through a guided color-by-numbers activity inspired by the historic front gates.

As families unwind together during Finally, Friday, participants can explore patterns, symmetry, and design while creating their own vibrant tribute to Oakland’s architecture. This hands-on craft offers a relaxing and creative way to connect with the beauty and history of the grounds.

Art Supply Drive

SERVE

Support local youth creativity by contributing to our art supply drive benefiting Paint Love.

We’re collecting new and gently used supplies—such as crayons, markers, Kwik Stix tempera paint sticks, Posca paint markers, Model Magic clay, watercolor paper, tape, yarn, and more—to help expand access to expressive arts programming for young people across Atlanta.

Bring a donation, receive a special discount in the Oakland Gift Shop and be part of a community-wide effort to put powerful creative tools directly into the hands of youth.
