Sidewalk Art

Yappers,

The new park across the street from City hall is being completed and for its opening day they were hoping to get some people to do sidewalk art at the park. Below are some details. If you can attend, please email me back.

I’m looking for some advise and help from our Youth Advisory Panel. I am hoping to get connected to some high school artists or a high school’s art program/teacher for a Sidewalk Chalk project for the dedication of the the Westminster Center Park, which is the new park across the street from City Hall.
Here’s some details about the event:
Westminster City Council
invites you to join them as they
dedicate the new
Westminster Center Park
4801 W. 92nd Avenue
Friday May 21, 2010, 5:30 pm
A ceremonial dedication, entertainment and children’s activities will be included.
What I’m hoping to do is have the artists do their work the day of the event so that it is ready at 5:30 pm, cordon off a section of the sidewak for Sidewalk Art focused on the Peter Pan, Neverland theme, as that is the design them of the park itself. I would be happy to provide the chalk and we could acknowledge the artists and school’s represented in the Mayor’s Comments. Since this event is right at graduation time, this would probably only appeal to current students who are not Seniors.
This could even be a class field trip on a Friday afternoon!
If any YAP member would be willing to pass my request on to their artist friends or art teacher at their school, I’d appreciate it. Anyone interested in participating should contact me. I would be glad to meet with instructors at your school if that is preferable.
