Youth Arts Day: Call to Schools and Artists
YOUTH ARTS DAY & MUSIC FEST
Sunday, March 7th, 2010
10 am - 5 pm
Co-hosted by Students Offering Support and the Deering Estate at Cutler, Youth Arts Day and Music Fest is a community collaboration celebrating youth artists and creating awareness for the rich emerging resources Miami-Dade County has to offer. Youth Arts Day and Music Fest features a month long visual and literary art exhibition as well as a day long series of youth performance art on Sunday, March 7, 2010. Founding members of the Living Artist Concert Series and Artists in Residence will act as mentors available for portfolios reviews, exhibits and performances. Youth volunteers will host a Kid’s Zone in the Palm Grove with activities, face painting, eco-art projects and much more! We invite community organizations serving our youth to get involved. Youth visitors are given free admittance to the Estate.
A 5K Dash held on Saturday, March 6th - from the Estate to the community and back to the Estate - will invite our neighbors in and kick off the next day’s activities.
