The 2011 Arts Buffet Festival was another big hit with young artists around town! For its 9th year in a row, the Center School gym was transformed into a sea of creativity. Young artists tried their hands at an array of arts and crafts to make and take home. With 16 different projects there was something for everyone from Recycled Art to Mosaic Tile. Touching on many different mediums, the young artists learned how to make their own paper, sculpt clay, paint with watercolors, and even learned how to knit! All these activities and many more were greatly enjoyed while our Center School musicians wowed us with their musical talents! Marion Rayner transformed the cafeteria into a stunning Art Show displaying a piece of art work from every student K-5. A fun-filled and creative day was had by all!
The festival was co-coordinated by Gretchen Hunter and Stacey Almy. They would like to thank the many, many volunteers from parents and Girl Scout Troops, to middle school and high school students - all of whom dedicated many hours to make this event come to fruition. A special thanks to Judy Dyer for coordinating the music, Marion Rayner for setting up the Student Art Show, Custodians Dave and Alan for all their help, and Mary O'Brien for her continued patience and help with all the Newsletters throughout the year!
