CREATIVE KIDS
Creative Kids Art Celebration brings youth art, music to festival
M
arysville and Tulalip have some budding young artists and performers, and their works and talents will be on display at the first-ever Creative Kids Performing & Visual Arts Show at the Strawberry Festival. The fun takes place from noon-5 p.m. Saturday, June 16, in Totem Middle School’s Cafe, 1605 7th St. Admission is free. The event features a juried art show, student musical and dance performances, and hands-on kids art activities tables. Art show participation is open to students in grades 1st through 12th. The theme for artwork is “In harmony.” Organizers Kristin Michal and Karen Davis said the idea grew out of conversations at the 10th Street School where their children attend. Michal said the show is focused on what kids are doing in the community in the arts. “We have all these great resources and art like at 10th Street’s art festival and Tulalip Kids Art Festival, and we don’t always know if people get a chance to see all this talent and positive stuff,” Michal said. “This art festival is an opportunity for our kids to show what they’re doing, and share it with other kids and adults in the community,” she said. Registration forms are available on the festival website at http://www.maryfest.org. Art categories include 2-D and 3-D art, photography and digital art. •
