CCAT mandala A Day With the Arts.
Thanks to those of you who came!
Where: Wells Fargo Center for the Arts

The Sonoma County Arts Council and Wells Fargo Center had a Day With the Arts Festival
AUGUST 28, and the Center for the Creative Arts Therapies had a booth. We painted faces and did our project: It's GRAPE to belong and still BE ME.

The place was packed with visual artists, woodworkers, dancers, musicians, clowns, and many arts projects to do. CCAT was treated to Pomo Indian Dancers right next to our booth. Their dancing and their outfits, hand carved abalone shells, furs, beads, feathers and leather were amazing. We learned a lot!

The fair was put together on short notice and this is the FIRST YEAR. Participants were enthusiastic and we are betting that NEXT YEAR there will be thousands there. The crowd was sparse this year, but the enthusiasm was high. We met many new people and more people know about us now!

September 26th we'll be doing it again at the Progressive Fair in Petaluma at Walnut Park. We hope you'll come and visit, or volunteer. We really need face painters and people who like to guide art projects. We're doing the same successful projects.

VISIT CCAT AT the Progressive Fair Sept. 26
We'll be doing the following activities and we can use your help. Come promote your community and the creative arts by participating.
