Community Collaboration in Progress!

The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts is the highlight of a State College summer. Growing up here, I have attended countless Arts Fests with my family and it certainly helped shape my love and appreciation for the arts.

This year I am extremely excited to be a part of Arts Fest! I have partnered up with the Happy Valley Launchbox and the festival to bring together community and work together to create a piece of artwork. Please join me at the Happy Valley Launchbox tent located on Old Main Lawn from 10am-5pm on Wednesday, July 9th. I will be asking kids, grownups, people of all ages to help me by coloring on a small blank circle. Draw a picture, write a note, share a dream.

Thursday and Friday I will be at the Innovation Hub on Burrowes Street working on pasting the circles on a large canvas that will then be on display at the Happy Valley Launch Box. If you missed me on Wednesday, stop by on Thursday or Friday to add your circle!

Finally, join us Saturday, July 12th at 3pm for a panel discussion on local art entrepreneurship and turning your passion into your profession. I will be joined by two other panelists, Matt Fern and Sarah Zappe.
