Got a kiddo crazy for making art? Check out pARTiculars in Lafayette for classes for their artistic expression. I like one in pARTicular called “Boredom Relief” for ages 8 and up.
This weekend, July 21 & 22, 2012, is Boulder’s Open Arts Fest! What does that mean?
From the Downtown Boulder website: “Local artists will be joined by artists from around the country (and the world!), providing demonstrations and showcasing their work. There will be exciting children’s art activities, a silent auction benefiting OpenArts Zeff Fund for Arts Education and Ed Links – and much, much more!”
Did you know The Dairy Center for the Arts has a film series? They show everything from classics like Citizen Kane (July 15) to just-for-fun like Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (July 20) to the 2012 Academy Award nominee for Best Animated Feature, A Cat in Paris (July 21).
Known as the “Wet Paint Sale”, plein air artists from around the area are invited to come to Louisville on July 17, 18, or 19, to paint “Louisville, As I see It”, and then to sell their paintings at Community Park on July 19th starting at 6pm. Check the Louisville Art Association web site for information on joining the painting or the party.
Pete Kartsounes brings his music to the masses starting at 7pm on the 19th. Brought to you by the Louisville Art Association (LAA) and the Louisville Cultural Council (LCC).
