Arts Connection Rescheduled
The big snowstorm canceled the first attempt at the third annual event for area artists and arts lovers, but it has been rescheduled for Saturday, February 26. The event features performance opportunities, venues for display of visual arts, networking, socializing, and refreshments. Artists of all ages are encouraged to present their work. Pre-register to perform or exhibit creative work. BYOB. $5.
An adjoining well-lit exhibition space is available for a display of visual arts, books, CDs, and brochures. Visual artists may display one work of a art by bringing it to Kickstart on Friday, February 25 from 2 to 5 p.m., or Saturday, February 26, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Two-dimensional art must be ready to hang and no larger than 30 by 40 inches. Three-dimensional work must have a base or pedestal, be movable by two people, and no larger than 6-feet high by 2-feet deep and 3-feet wide. All artwork will be accepted if requirements for display are met.
Refreshments and socializing begin at 6:30 p.m. and a sign up sheet for performers will become available. The performance segment begins at 7:30 p.m. Pre-register by E-mailing director@westwindsorarts.org. Note the number of persons performing, the type of performance, and the type of technical support needed.
“I especially want to encourage the talented artists who would consider braving the stage or the display of their artwork publicly for the first time,” says Paul Cerna, event organizer and WWAC board president. “If any one person achieves this, I would consider the evening an inspiring success.”
