The Art of an Event

Princess Leia Fans

I was offered the opportunity to chair our elementary school's spring fling (a celebration of the school's birthday) for a few years and used the following philosophy as a focal point for the event.

I am really grateful for the opportunity - it was a gift in so many ways: personally, for the kids and I hope for our community.

The goal of this event is to inspire, educate and celebrate the arts through bringing together children’s playfulness, student experimentation and technical study with professional expertise. Celebrating these individual traits, together during a single event creates a unique and expansive atmosphere for all attendees.

When individuals get together and share their talents, regardless of age, a unique event is created that is not only entertaining but a celebration of individual gifts. This environment creates an opportunity to ignite within each participant a desire to explore what might be possible for themselves and their community as a whole.

...the idea of a birthday party is simple, but the possibilities of what could unfold is wonder-filled.
