Georgia Southern University invites you to beautiful Sweetheart Circle for a day of art, music, dance, and more at
ArtsFest 2012 on Saturday, April 14th, from 11 am to 5 pm,
celebrating its 30th Anniversary! Where else can you experience
renowned Flamenco dancers and a local ballet troupe? Where else can you
groove to rhythms of jazz and rock, then indulge your passion for
beautiful art, and along the way making art yourself – from clay to
paint, then finally relaxing with a game of Ultimate Frisbee, afterward
munching on BBQ and cotton candy?
The answer?
Only at Georgia Southern’s ArtsFest 2012, a free event, open to all.
Enjoy a Variety of Performances! Aire Flamenco will entertain and teach you basic Flamenco dancing steps.
Curious Moon Puppet Theatre
will delight young and old, on and off the stage, with their
one-of-a-kind puppets. The Children’s Theatre Class puts a different
spin on the classic tale of
Little Red Riding Hood with their rendition of
Totally Red!
Georgia Southern’s own Wildlife Center will show off their large
menagerie of animals, as well as the University’s matriarch, Glory, a
great American Bald Eagle!
Groove to the Music! Pladd Dot Music’s
School of Rock will be rockin’ their talent this year on the main stage with 4 bands:
Supernova, The Daisies, Relentless, and Hearts of Rebellion!
These students, all under the age of 18, not only cover some of music’s
greatest hits, but also are responsible for writing their own original
tunes. On top of that,
4 & Some will belt it out old-school – a capella style - bringing something different to the stage!
Our Community is Overflowing with Talent! Watch
Statesboro act, dance, sing and more on the Community Stage sponsored by
the Averitt Center for the Arts! Jazz, clarinets, poetry, and karate;
we’ve got it all! From the
Society of Swing Cats, to a stunning
performance by Gail Hursey School of Dance, the community stage is
packed with local stars while celebrity impersonators, living statues
and mimes roam through the crowd.
Visit the Artist’s Market! Watch
artists demonstrating their talents in jewelry, folk art, painting,
ceramics, sculpture, and photography, including the Betty Foy Sanders
Department of Art’s Jewelry Guild! And back by popular demand – One
dollar will buy a Threads of Hope friendship bracelet made by artisans
in the Philippines to raise funds to provide schooling, medical care and
nutrition to those that don’t have the resources to do it on their own.
STOP and Create! Make art at over 25 different Studio
Stops. Create giant bubbles, print a fish, make paper, sculpt with clay,
paint a masterpiece, craft jewelry or pose for a photo! The Humane
Society invites all to paint larger than life dog sculptures (an annual
ArtsFest favorite!) and meet the many dogs and cats available for
adoption.
Last But Not Least: EAT!
Make it a point to eat lunch in the sunshine with a variety of food in
one great location! Jerk and curry chicken, pizza, and corn dogs are on
the menu. For the sweet tooth, lots of cupcakes, cake pops, cookies, ice
cream and Italian ice are mouthwatering treats! Enjoy funnel cakes,
strawberry lemonade and other festival food available all day!
