About
the Day With the Arts Fair
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 CCAT,
the Purple Apple, Arts and Feelings,
and Simply Art: Express Yourself now!
September 26th we'll
be doing it again at the Progressive
Fair in Petaluma at Walnut Park
12 - 5. 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 we
did at the Day With the Arts Fair.
Alice Walker will be speaking! Click
