Festival of the Arts Kid's Art Beat |
|
This year the Kids Art Beat will feature hands-on arts & crafts with the Art Miles Mural Project. These two wonderful activities promote children's creativity and allow them to participate in spreading global harmony. The Sophia Isadora Academy of Circus Arts will also return this year, performing daring acrobatics in dazzling costumes. And the San Diego Junior Theater will be performing for the crowd and offering a Q&A session afterwards. Other activities include storytelling, magic tricks, and craft projects from Michaels. Scroll down for more details! The San Diego Met High School and The Art Miles Mural Project, who have formed a partnership with the North Park Festival of the Arts. Interns from the high school will work with the mural project to create a mural at the festival. The Art Miles Project is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to creating harmony and peace through art, in addition to teaching children about cultures around the work. Their goal is to complete 12 themed miles to be exhibited during the "Exhibition of the Century" in 2010, when the works will be wrapped around the pyramids in Egypt to celebrate the Decade of Peace. The project will also try to break the record for the Longest Mural in the World. For more information on the Art Miles

Sophia Isadora Academy of Circus Arts The Festival of the Arts is proud to present the Sophia Isadora Academy of Circus Arts. The academy was established during the spring of 2005. Founded by Cheryl Lindley and Rogelio Lopez, the Sophia Isadora Academy of Circus Arts grew out of experiences associated with the Fern Street Circus which was founded in 1990 by John Highkin and Cindy Zimmerman. This circus school's course of study entails traditional circus arts and related disciplines in order to provide a modern interdisciplinary approach. To address this mission, the school seeks to offer quality training for children, young people, and adults that will lead to the development of technical and creative abilities in the circus arts. The school emphasizes training in basics such as: acrobatics, flexibility, and development of body strength and coordination; as well as circus disciplines as aerial arts and manipulation arts.
