Free Arts Day 2008 – Sunday, December 7, 2008
The 2008 preparations are underway for our seventh annual Free Arts Day! We have started planning early this year with the goal of achieving an unprecedented success that will leave a lasting impression in Westchester County and beyond.
Based on success from Free Arts Day 2007, we will once again be using a core site format that will be limited to a few locations.
The goal of Free Arts Day is to feature a broad range of artists and performers that best represent the vast diversity of talent and culture in Westchester County.
We will feature programs that encompass the entire gamut of the arts, including: Classical, Popular, Contemporary, Multi-Cultural.
As Free Arts Day takes place near Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza, any family oriented programs with a holiday theme will be especially well-received and appreciated by audiences. It would also be special to have a connection between the program and a specific site (ie: A literary based site could have poetry reading, haiku workshops for kids, or a reading from a classic holiday children's story).
In the spirit of Free Arts Day, we ask that you donate your presentation to this special celebration, matching the generosity of the core sites that open their doors at no cost to the public.
If you have a program that fits the family oriented theme of Free Arts Day 2008, please return the attached program description form by: Friday, August 29th.
If you have any questions, please contact, Anthony Pellegrino, at 914-428-4220 ext. 225 or by email at apellegrino@westarts.com
