EXCITING UPCOMING EVENT!
Art
Behind Bars,
in conjunction with the Florida
Keys Council of the Arts and the Key
Wst Art & Historical Society, will host the Childrens
Festival of the Arts on Saturday, April 12th, from 12
noon 5 p.m. at E. Martello Tower in Key West. The Festival will be
a showcase for the numerous groups that serve kids in our community
with cultural and creative programs. A butterfly release will open the
event, and more than 35 groups will exhibit, perform, show off their
summer program opportunities, or offer interactive fun. Admission to
the event is free.
The
entire event is a fundraiser for Take Stock in Children, expanding Art
Behind Bars mission of Art-Based
Community Service to a younger audience, Kids
Helping Kids. A 1% share of a pre-paid college education for a
deserving child is available for $17.50, which gets matched at the
local level by a generous benefactor, and again at the state level. If
you would like more information, e-mail info@artbehindbars.org.
Stock Certificates are available at all branches of First
State Bank throughout the Keys, or online at www.artbehindbars.org
This event is made possible
in part by a grant from the State of Florida, Division of Cultural
Affairs, Arts in Education, the National Endowment of the Arts, Jimmy
Buffetts Margaritaville, and private donations. For further
