East Carolina University will present The Ninth Annual Youth Arts Festival on Saturday, April 6th 2013 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event will be held on the "mall" area in the center of campus. In case of rain, the festival will be held in the Leo W. Jenkins Fine Arts Building on Fifth Street.
The festival will bring over 100 visual and performing artists to campus who will share their creative talents with the children of our community. Varied and talented musical, dance and theatrical groups will also be featured at the festival. Children will have the opportunity to visit with artists demonstrating activities such as wheel thrown ceramics, traditional watercolor painting, weaving, blacksmithing, paper-making, printmaking, portraiture and a myriad of other visual art media. Featured visual artists will come from surrounding states, North Carolina, Greenville, and from the School of Art and Design at
East Carolina University.
Children will also have the opportunity to create their own artwork with the help of professional artists and art students. There will be lots of other fun and exciting interactive activities for children of all ages during the day. April 6th will be a day full of "fun and adventure." All children, families and individuals interested in the arts are welcome.
The ECU School of Art and Design will again host this event. This event is being supported this year with generous grants from the ECU office of the Provost, ECU College of Fine Arts and Communication, Target, The Belk Fund, the Friends of the School of Art and Design, the North Carolina Arts Council, the Ledonia Wright Center, and the Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge. Other sponsors at ECU include the
Department of Recreation and Wellness, The College of Fine Arts and Communication, The School of Music, the School of Theater and Dance, the Student Activities Board, and the Office of Institutional Diversity, and ECU Department of Recreation and Wellness and Joyner Library.
