Run to the River for Artpark’s “Aquatic Art!”

Submerge Yourself in Creativity for 2nd Installment (July 19-20) of “Family Weekends!”

Mon, Jul 7th 2008 11:00 am
(Lewiston, NY)  Artpark gets submerged in river-related creativity for the second installment of the venue's FREE "Family Weekends," set to take place July 19-20.  Aptly titled "Aquatic Art," the weekend's themed activities will include the creation of reflective fish mobiles, amphibian Gyotaku prints, water color designs, fish hands and salt paintings.  Also featured during "Aquatic Art" will be an aquatic life display from the Niagara Region Interpretive Programs Office of New York State Parks.

 

All "Family Weekends" take place on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4pm in Artpark's Outdoor Amphitheater, and also include an array of traditional art endeavors like clay work, face-painting, drawing and dress-up.

 

Artpark's "Family Weekends" also includes a "Tot Spot," consisting of a selection of simplified art happenings, a sandbox, fun with earthmovers and other goings-on for children ages two through five.

 

Artpark's family and children's programming is made possible in part by the generous support of the Modern Corporation, the Town of Lewiston and the Niagara County Legislature.

 

For a full schedule of 2008 events, call the Artpark Box Office at (716) 754-4375 or visit artpark.net.

 

The Earl W. Brydges Artpark is being operated by Artpark & Company, Inc. for the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation under a license agreement.
