After a wonderfully successful Wintermarkt, members of the West End Arts Council have not been content to sit on their laurels. Instead, an ambitious grant has been submitted to the Regional Arts Commission to fund three separate projects – a concert series for Four Corners Park titled “Neighborhood Notes”, a public art installation called “Piazza Pizzazz”, which involves creation and installation of a mosaic on and surrounding the stage at Four Corners Park, and, for the third year, another Wintermarkt. Neighborhood Notes will seek out performers from the neighborhood, amateur and professional, who are interested in performing in our outdoor venue, Four Corners Park.
A committee will be established to set the categories, and select the performers, for the series, which is currently envisioned to be a six-concert production. Anyone interested in working on either the selection committee or in applying to perform at the concerts is asked to call 862-5122. Details will be released pending notification of funding. Piazza Pizzaz is a public arts project to be led by neighborhood resident Ute Levi. Adults and children will have an opportunity to participate in the enhancement of our performance stage in Four Corners Park. Details, again, will be released once funding levels are set.
Finally, Wintermarkt will return for the third year. Neighborhood artisans and craftspeople will join others from the metropolitan area in this outdoor recreation of the traditional European Kristkindlsmarkt.
This event has become a successful fundraiser for the Arts Council. Committee members include Bill Christman, Andy Cross, Shelley Goebel-Parker, Lucien Krakowski, Bill Kohn, Ute Levi, Michelle Pike, Laure Porterfield and Katrina Stierholz.
There is always room for more volunteers. Questions?
Call 862-5122.
