Historical March 1989 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
So it’s March. You’ve run out of reasons to avoid your income taxes. You’ve rented every worthwhile video and can not see “Ghostbusters” one more time.
If you have to think up one more day of indoor activity for toddlers you, yourself, may never again be able to recite the alphabet. Or you’re seriously considering seeking safe harbor at one of the various state facilities if you have to again face the kids’ dining room forts made of every sheet and blanket and pillow from every bed.
Well, the West End Arts Council and New City School want you to take comfort. Get out of the house, bring the kids (all of them) and join us for a celebration of imagination at “DO ART.” New City School will open its doors on Saturday, March 18th for a free, one-day children’s art exposition.
There will be hands-on art projects, storytellers, dance and music class demonstrations as well as performances by some of St. Louis’ leading dance and theater groups.
There will be information booths with representatives of the major organizations that offer children’s performing and visual art programs to tell you about their schedules and answer your questions. “DO ART” is designed to let children and families explore the arts through participation and demonstration and provide information on art opportunities by taking advantage of the art programs in St. Louis.
In this way, we hope to encourage children to make art a part of their lives. “DO ART” is sponsored by the West End Arts Council and New City School with grants from the Regional Arts Commission. Participating organizations will include: St. Louis Opera Theater, the Magic House, the St. Louis Public Library, the City Studio, the Center of Contemporary Arts (COCA), Craft Alliance, and the St. Louis Science Center.
In addition, the Mid-America Dance Company (MADCO) and the Muny Student Theater Project (MSTP) will present free performances. MSTP is well known for its children’s theater productions that both enthrall and involve the audience.
The Mid America Dance Company will perform “Carnival of the Animals,” a work developed for children that elegantly combines great dancing and humor for all ages. Join us! Mark your calendar, get everyone out of the house and plan to spend the day.
There will be things to do for children of all ages. It’s a guaranteed day of fun in Mid-March. DO ART! . . . a celebration of imagination.
