by Administrator
Sunday, April 26, 2009, from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Riverfront Museum Park
711 N. Main Street, in Rockford.
The Rockford Area Arts Council is pleased to join with the Early Learning Council of Rockford in presenting the Family Festival. This event is a combination of the former Family Arts Festival of the Arts Council and the Early Learning Council’s Family Jamboree. Family Festival is held in collaboration with the Rockford Art Museum’s opening of the Young Artists’ Show.
The Festival will be a jam packed afternoon of performances and art exhibits by area students, hands on activities, and resource information for the entire family. In addition to the Young Artists’ Show in the Art Museum, artwork from Hillman and Washington students will be exhibited. Student performers include: the Rockford Youth Symphony Orchestra quartet, a scene from Ellis Arts Academy’s Willy Wonka Jr. and a musical presentation and demo, Marsh 5th Grade Choir, McNulty Irish Dancers, Rockford Dance Company’s DanceReach, Haskell School’s Dance & Drumming teams, and Guzzardo’s Instrument Petting Zoo. Participants of all ages will have an opportunity to learn dance moves, create art and make music. The Family Festival is an opportunity to see firsthand the positive impact of the arts in a child’s life and demonstrates vital role for the arts in every child’s education!
