The activities run from 11am - 4pm, and incorporate something for all ages, including demonstrations, free sample classes, give-aways, raffles/drawings, dance performances, musical performances, arts & crafts sales, volunteer information, and the list goes on! (The schedule of performances will be posted on-line on Friday.)

Research (www.artsusa.org) shows that the arts create a strong community and that artistically rich regions produce motivated, well-rounded students. As stated in Creativity Matters: The Arts and Aging Toolkit, “The arts contribute to communicating, building a sense of identity, preserving or restoring capital, and strengthening social networks in communities.”
See you on Saturday, October 2nd at the Community Arts Festival!
