PLAYING WITH PUPPETS ~ WEEK ONE

One hot summer day, some hula dancers danced their way into the little theatre and onto a stage.

The director and costume designer choreographed the show, but soon decided that some extras were necessary.

A glamorous movie star, a wild and crazy guy, a fierce dragon, and others who dressed for the occasion were put to work on the show.

It was a total success and the show received a standing ovation, not to mention a Tony award.

The second act featured Mr. Walrus, Miss Mousie, and Penelope Peacock.

But of course, the show would not be complete without the supporting cast which included Honey Bear,

The Fancy Lady, Dr. Big Nose, and Penelope's peacock friend.

On stage left was another glam gal with her co-star.  

And behind the scenes the costume designers and voice over actors were rehearsing.

All put on an awesome act.

Bravo!

CELEBRATION OF OUR ARTS ~ SUMMER ARTS CAMP 2014

 There is no question, the best art show in town this year was at Summer Arts Camp 2014. 

The SAC 2014 Camper Kids were some of the most creative, imaginative, and energetic children we have had the privilege of teaching.  

It was a joy to have them all with us this summer and see the work they each created...

...each with their very own individual and unique style.

On the last day of each week of Summer Arts Camp, the Camper Kids carved out their own gallery space to showcase their art works.

  
Families and friends gathered and the Camper Kids showed off their work to everyone.

The smiles we saw were infectious!

The pride the Camper Kids had when their shared their work was magical.

Their portfolio of work ranged from self portraits and mixed media to papier machè and sculpture.

And then it was time to say so long.

We hope we will see some of these fabulous Camper Kids here at Summer Arts Camp in 2015.

Your spot in the  SAC tent will be ready for you all!

Until then, have a wonderfully creative year.  We miss you already!

OH, THE ARTISTS WE'LL MEET...

...and the faces we'll see.

Some new.

Some familiar.

Some silly.

And some critters.  {Those would be Guss our SAC Mascot and Gucci our lopsided lop bunny.}

We are happy that we will be meeting so many new Camper Kids this June and especially pleased that many of our SAC 2013 alumni will be returning.

We still have some openings during both weeks, but camp sites are filling up quickly.  Secure your spot and register today!

We want to create with you!

NEW FRIENDS

First there was one...

...then two,

three...

...and suddenly, a group of new friends gathered to create wonderful works of art at Summer Arts Camp!

What will their faces look like?  

We don't know yet, but can't wait to meet all of the Camper Kids this June!  

Won't you join us too?
