 A Message from the Chairman Welcome to our Tenth Annual celebration of the Arts in Western New York and in a larger sense, a celebration of all of our Creative Spirits. The Creative Spirit is what leads to many good things - from the wheel to love. We hope the Festival helps to feed your Creative Spirit in many ways; from elegantly fired Raku pottery to paintings of local landscapes, from solar powered smoothies to composting, from good old fashion Rock n Roll to jugglers to African drumming, from giant puppets to tales of far off lands to wooden blocks, stacked by children, representing little worlds.
Fueling your Creative Spirit helps to make Western New York a better place for all of us to live. Get involved and create a better reality. Move your feet and arms. Make a friend. Ask someone to dance. Volunteer for a cause. Support your local economy. Eat local food. Sing.
Let the party begin!
Joe DiPasquale Our Mission Goals Create a children's festival that celebrates and educates through the Arts. Offering hands-on art projects, some collaborative, that bring together children of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
Commission and fund public art, tree plantings, and other beautifi cation projects.
Highlight the richness of the Elmwood Village stores, restaurants, and people.
We plan on accomplishing this by seeking regional artists and developing marketplaces for
them in cooperation with neighborhood businesses, regional arts organizations, galleries, colleges and universities, and our sponsors. We feel that providing such a venue is an
economic development tool for the neighborhood, city, region, and state. Festival Committee |
