Sand Castle Competition - Plan Ahead
Sat. July 4, 2009 at 9:30 AM-12:30 PM
Rain date July 5, 2009
At C. D. Lane Park in Maplecrest (directions)(Entry Form)
The Windham Arts Alliance is hosting the Fourth Annual Sandcastle and Sculpture Contest at CD Lane Park in Maplecrest on Saturday, July 4, 2008 from 9:30AM to 12:30PM (rain date is Sunday July 5).This event has triggered the creative imaginations and artistic talents of the children who have participated during the last two years. We are excited that children of all ages from three to eighteen enjoy this activity. We anticipate a large turnout again this year as each year has attracted more people than the year before. So come early. The event will open with a sandcastle-building clinic. Children are encouraged to bring their imaginations, original ideas, smiles, as well as pails and shovels. This is a great way for families to come together and start the summer season visiting the Mountaintop.
This year, we are enhancing the Sandcastle Sculpture event with a clinic in sculpture, design and technique taught by local artists. In this way, we are encouraging our young people to look at art as an integral part of their lives and as something in which each of them can participate. We are proud to provide an opportunity for children to gain an understanding of the arts.

This year’s Art Fest will be better than ever. In addition to the much-anticipated studio and gallery tours, this annual event has expanded to include the Third Annual Batavia Kill Festival at the Country Suites B&B on Route 23 in Ashland.

“Windham Arts Alliance” and “Artfully Yours” Join Together to Support the Northeast Parent and Child Society
The
Windham Arts Alliance recently teamed up with “Artfully Yours” store
owner, Theresa Corrigan, for a very important cause; together, they
presented to Northeast Parent and Child Society representatives Tara
Klein (Supervisor) and Brenda Purell-Stott (Green County Recruiter) a
check and gift certificate to buy art materials for several talented
and expressive young people in their unique care.
The Northeast
Parent and Child Society is more than just a foster care agency. Its
focus is to provide therapeutic foster care in an environment where
children develop to their potential; where they are nurtured and get
what they need to succeed and grow into responsible adults, who are
able to make positive contributions to family and society.
“We
certainly appreciate the generosity of the Windham Arts Alliance and
Artfully Yours for making this possible,” said Tara Klein.
“In
keeping with Northeast’s mission, it was our intention to encourage
these youngsters by recognizing them simply as ‘fellow artists’ and
providing them with the means to create,” said a WAA member. “We hope
that, one day, their work and ours will be hanging side by side.”
There is still a critical shortage of foster homes. If you would like more information, please call (518) 671-6755.
