General InformatioN

When:
Saturday, April 14, 2012 from 11 AM until 5 PM

Where:
Sweetheart Circle at Georgia Southern University

What:
Georgia Southern University invites you to beautiful Sweetheart circle for a day of art, music, dance, and more at ArtsFest 2012 on Saturday, April 14th, from 11 am to 5 pm. Where else can you experience renowned Flamenco dancers and a local ballet troupe? Where else can you groove to rhythms of jazz and rock, then indulge your passion for beautiful art, and along the way making art yourself – from clay to paint, then finally relaxing with a game of Ultimate Frisbee, afterward munching on BBQ and cotton candy?

The answer? Only at Georgia Southern’s ArtsFest 2012, a free event, open to all.

 


 

Enjoy a Variety of Performances!  Aire Flamenco will entertain you and teach you basic Flamenco dancing steps. Curious Moon Puppet Theatre will delight young and old, on and off the stage, with their one-of-a-kind puppets. Georgia Southern’s own Wildlife Center will show off their large menagerie of animals, as well as the University’s matriarch, Glory, a great American Bald Eagle!

Groove to the Music!  Pladd Dot Music’s School of Rock will be rockin’ their talent this year on the main stage! These students, all under the age of 18, not only cover some of music’s greatest hits, but also are responsible for writing their own original tunes. 4 & Some will belt it out old-school - acapella style - bringing something different to the stage!

Our Community is Overflowing with Talent!  Watch Statesboro act, dance, sing and more on the Community stage sponsored by the Averitt Center for the Arts! From the Society of Swing Cats, to a stunning performance by Gail Hursey School of Dance, the community stage is packed with local stars.

Visit the Artist’s Market!  Watch artists demonstrating their talents in jewelry, folk art, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and photography, including the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art’s Jewelry Guild!

STOP and Create!  Create art at over 25 different Studio Stops. Create giant bubbles, print a fish, make paper, sculpt with clay, paint a masterpiece, craft jewelry or pose in a photo booth! The Humane Society invites all to paint larger than life dog sculptures at Paint-a-Pet (an annual ArtsFest favorite!) and meet the many dogs and cats available for adoption.

Last But Not Least: EAT!  Enjoy mouthwatering BBQ, funnel cakes, strawberry lemonade and other festival food available all day!
