About The Event

Join us at the Community Arts Center for free workshops for participants interested in working on Parade the Circle projects with support from artist-consultant Ally Russell. Ally has been involved in Parade the Circle since she was 11 years old, and she describes her mind as having “been expanded by the endless opportunities by seeing and creating art in unexpected ways, as well as being able to cultivate a community with other talented artists.” 

Ensembles are welcome to work on projects they’ve started or to create new parade entries from scratch. A limited selection of materials for these studios are provided at no cost, but we encourage participants to upcycle and bring nontraditional supplies to support their art making. These workshops are open to all ages; however, children under age 15 should be accompanied by an adult at all times. Teens are highly encouraged to participate. 

Te invitamos al Centro de Artes Comunitarias para talleres gratis para los participantes interesados en trabajar en los proyectos de Parade the Circle con el apoyo de la consultora de artistas Ally Russell.

Los conjuntos son bienvenidos a trabajar en proyectos que han comenzado o crear nuevas entradas para el desfile desde cero. Se proporciona una selección limitada de materiales para estos estudios sin costo alguno, sin embargo, alentamos a los participantes a reciclar y traer suministros no tradicionales para apoyar su creación artística. Estudios de Desfile está abierto a todas las edades; sin embargo, los niños menores de 15 años deben estar acompañados por una persona mayor. Se recomienda encarecidamente a los adolescentes que participen.
