Re: Art/Technology Festival

At Sidwell we have a Sunday festival in January for the whole school
community that includes hands-on crafts and visual art experiences along
with music, dance, and drama performances by students, parents, faculty,
and anyone else connected to the community. It's quite hectic and
over-stimulating, but a wonderful event! It's organized by a determined
group of parents that form an all-school Arts committee. The current
name for the event is "Artrageous", although it was previously called
"Art Attack" - I guess that offended someone.

The committee for this year has invited teachers to find projects
related to their areas of expertise that mix art with other subjects -
we are meeting with math, tech, science, and other teachers to plan
projects for the event that will integrate the arts and our areas.

Does any of your schools host a Art/Technology Festival during the =20
school year?

If you do, what kind of "events" or "showcases" do you have? Does your =20
parent organization become involved?

We are proposing one for our school and are trying to generate ideas =20
of what we can offer.

Thanks for any insight.
