Hi Jenni,
Fall is in full swing at the Park! With Halloween just around the corner, we have a weekend of fun and "fall-filling" events coming up!
Join us this Saturday for Fall Frolic, the Park's Halloween family fun celebration! Come dressed in a Halloween costume and go Trick-or-Treating at our resident art studios and galleries. Free family activities include Halloween crafts and games, a costume contest, and a costume parade!
Also at the Park this Saturday, artist Marcie Wolf- Hubbard will host an Encaustic Demo & Artist Talk in the Park View Gallery, where she currently has a solo exhibition on display titled, FLORAβ A Celebration of Nature, Beauty & Life.
The second in a series of Brazilian Samba gatherings at the Park will take place this Sunday! Sarau de Samba, co-presented by EducArte and the Partnership, features a dynamic ensemble of skilled musicians and dancers showcasing the diverse rhythms of samba, from Golden Age classics and choro to modern pagode and high-energy carnival beats.
Read on for more of this week's happenings, including upcoming classes. We can't wait to see you at the Park soon, and as always, we appreciate your support!
