Hi Neighbors, I wanted to let you know about a few events being sponsored by the West End Arts Council this summer. June 9th, WEAC is hosting a Youth Art/Recycling Program at Andy Cross’ studio. Kids in the area are welcome to sign up for a day of creative arts and crafts, using recycled materials. New this year are contributions of pizzas from Papa Johns, and snacks and drinks from Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.
If you know any kids who might be interested, contact Jessica Eiland at the SDCC office,862-5122, or at jessica.eiland@skinker-debaliviere.com. Below is a list of recycled materials that we are collecting for the youth workshop.
If you have any items you wish to contribute, please drop off at the SDCC office: water colors, yogurt containers, egg cartons, white cotton sheets, small hardback books, old picture frames (with glass), leather belts, and magazines. 2012 Skinker DeBaliviere Concert Series SDCC and the West End Arts Council (WEAC) are excited to announce the 2012 Concert Series Schedule!
