[FAC] Central Valley Dance "Art for Kids" contest starts Sept. 1 ends Oct. 15

[Maria Franco]

Central Valley Dance is a not for profit organization whose mission is to
offer charitable, cultural and educational programs to celebrate unity and
diversity through the language of dance.  Central Valley Dance is preparing
to present its 4th Annual Festival and we would like to include YOU.  Our
goal for 2009 is to include the community by conducting "A Picture and 100
Words" art and writing contest for 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th graders.  By
combining these forms of art with a dance experience for our children, we
hope to instill in their hearts a desire to dance.  Central Valley Dance
believes that dance enhances wellness, education, creativity, problem
solving and art by sharpening both the mind and body of the student
throughout their lives. Central Valley Dance is looking for 10 schools to
participate.  The 5th - 8th graders will be asked to produce an art piece
(9x12) with an accompanying 100 word essay or poetry based on the subject of
their piece.  Contest starts: September 1 and ends October 15.  

A total of 30 students per school will be judged.  Each participating school
will submit a total of 3 art pieces and accompanying essay to represent
their school.  These pieces will be displayed at the Fresno Memorial
Auditorium on November 7, 2009.  A panel of judges will be shown all the
submitted entries.  The 1st, 2nd and 3rd best pieces shall be announced and
students will be awarded certificates and prize for their creativity. Their
respective principals and schools will also be awarded books, art boxes and
gifts to ensure their continued success in bringing the arts to their
students.
 

With inspiration, there is Creativity
With Creativity, there is Possibility
With Possibility, there is Future Success!
