Art Fair 2013

Even though it was a torrential downpour that night, we had a HUGE crowd turn out for our Art Night!  Everyone enjoyed being photographed as "The Scream" and making Silly Bird sculptures. 

Free Art and Music Event This Sunday!

This Sunday at Metropolitan Park is the Natural Life Music Festival and Crafterthon.  It looks like it will be fun to attend.  Tickets for the Crafterthon are purchased however and it is aimed toward children to do make-and-take arts.  For more information:

Moo!!

Here is a 4.5 inch by 6.5 inch embroidered (stitched) cow I did for a timeline of St. Augustine.  They are celebrating their 450th anniversary and local artists are creating different squares that portray events and items significant to that era.  My cow represents livestock that was raised during either the British or Spanish occupation.  The timeline will be hanging in the visitor's center and may possibly travel to the state capital in Tallahassee!  When I find out more details I will post them here.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR ART NIGHT!!

I am in need of MANY volunteers to help before, during and after our Kids Art Fair/Art Night on Thursday, May 2nd.  The plan is to have several interactive art stations as well as the framed art on display. Helpers will be needed to assist at the art tables, set up the framed work on the tables, decorating, prepping the materials for each of the art station, greeters, people to clean up/pack up supplies, etc.  I would also LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a person who builds with wood to build two simple stand -ups with an oval cut out for a face. I will paint it to look like a famous painting and we can use it as a "photo op."  If you know anyone who is willing to build and donate these to the school, please put them in touch with me as soon as possible.  schmidtk1@duvalschools.org  Others willing to help, please contact me NOW so that we can make this night happen!!
