ArtsinStark, the Stark County arts council will be hosting ArtSplash 2013 on Saturday, March 2nd. This annual event is a free family fun day of art-making, performances and a little bit of learning on Saturday, March 2 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Cultural Center for the Arts, 1001 Market Street North, in Canton.
There is absolutely no charge for make-n-take learning projects offered from Camp Wakonda, Camp Tippecanoe, Weaver Child Development Center, Early Childhood Resource Center, Canton Country Day School, Canton Idol, Plain Local Schools, Massillon Museum, and Mercy Medical Center. Admission is free for The Canton Museum of Art, as are performances by VOCI, Players Guild Theatre, Mount Union’s steel drum members, students from the Arts Academy at Summit and dancers from the Canton Ballet. Kids can get their face painted, thanks to Nationwide, and be their own super hero movie and photo shoot thanks to the Canton Palace Theatre, Canton Film Fest and photographer, Robb Quicci.
The real heroes of the day are student artists from Grades K-8 who will have their artwork on display in the SmArts show, with awards announced at 1:30 p.m. SmArts is ArtsinStark’s art integration programming, linking arts and academics, and serving as the backdrop to ArtSplash. Schools currently involved in the program, include Jackson High School, Canton Country Day, Plain Local Schools, and will have teachers on-site to showcase their grant projects and offer take-home lessons.
Super snacks will be available for purchase and the Canton Museum of Art will be offering free admission all day. Add to that face-painting, compliments of Nationwide, and a take home Super SmArts Kit and you’ve got more than a few hours of action packed activity.
