Youth Arts Celebration this Saturday!

http://www.workhousearts.org/events/546/youth-arts-celebration,-may-19/ The Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, along with the Occoquan Regional Park and the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, will be hosting a bunch of different activities to show the diversity of the arts in our area May 19th, from 11am-5pm. This is especially geared to children. They will be allowed to watch and even at times interact in the cultural arts including music, dance, and arts and crafts. Of course, this includes food! Bring the kids down and let them come check out the activity tent. This event is free, however, a donation of $5 is suggested and will be GREATLY appreciated. Definitely a "steal of a deal" with all the activities they have planned. I will be painting outside from noon-5 pm. Kids and adults alike are encouraged to watch the process and even ask any questions they might have. (Painting and the creative process are two of my most favorite things to talk about!) Come watch me paint one of my owls!
