family arts day 2021
|
We invite you to celebrate National Arts Month with us at Family Arts Day 2021! Traditionally held in October, Family Arts Day is an intergenerational art experience with several booths for fine artists, unique hands on art projects, food and beverage vendors, and live music and dance performances. At least eight different arts media projects are offered for kids, from ceramics, printmaking, painting, drawing, and more, along with a performing arts component presented on a stage. The program is offered free to the public from 11am to 4pm. Family Arts Day coincides with a contemporary landscape art exhibition, "Scapes and Scope: Visions of the Land, Sea, and Urban Space", providing the opportunity for guests to view the exhibition in addition to participating in the workshops. FAD is back with excitement for the whole family in the Huntington Beach Art Center parking lot and galleries.

Family Arts Day 2021
This year’s Family Arts Day is just around the corner! Join us at the Art Center on Sunday, October 10th from 11am – 4pm for an afternoon of arts, performance, food, and more! Here is a sneak peak of some of the highlights of this year’s event:
DANCE AND GROOVE WITH FRED THOMKE AND ROSEWOOD
Fred Thomke is a solo vocalist/guitarist who also plays harmonica. Fred is based in Huntington Beach, California, and performs all over the southern California region. His song list consists of a very eclectic mix of easy-listening, soft-rock, and country-folk songs, covering artists such as Jim Croce, John Denver, Jimmy Buffet, James Taylor, Johnny Cash...and that's just the artists whose names start with "J" -- he's got the rest of the alphabet covered, too!
Rosewood is one of the Art Center’s favorite local bands, playing timeless acoustic pop and the lighter side of rock. Their soaring four part harmonies bring the popular songs they cover come alive with energy- think Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young for a good comparison! Their play list includes pop, jazz, soft rock, and samba, just to name a few. You won’t be able to resist singing along to your favorite songs!
