On Saturday, Dec. 7, ArtsFair is set to draw scores of families to experience the arts at Wright State. Drawing on the collective creativity of the fine and performing arts students, the event should be a fun and educational experience for all ages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>ArtsFair kicks off at 9 a.m. in the Creative Arts Center. The $5 admission price covers breakfast, to be served at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping ArtsFair will introduce a whole new audience to Wright State,\u201d said Jennie Buckwalter, assistant dean for community and student engagement. \u201cCommunity members are encouraged to bring their children and grandchildren to the university to expose them to the arts. They\u2019ll have the opportunity to explore their creative interests further.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Buckwalter, ArtsFair will also serve as an outreach for alumni who are looking to support their alma mater.<\/p>\n

Interactive activities across the artistic spectrum will be offered. There will be a theatre performance of Oklahoma!<\/em>. Kids will get to draw on the walls in the Robert & Elaine Stein Galleries, take dancing and acting lessons and participate in printmaking, face painting and instrumental performances.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cKids will get to team up with the percussion department and play drums. They might even get the chance to try out an instrument they\u2019ve never seen before,\u201d said Buckwalter. \u201cThis will be a great hands-on experience and is just one of the learning opportunities for kids at ArtsFair.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cWhat kid doesn\u2019t love to make noise?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sponsors for ArtsFair include Morris Home Furnishings and Collaborative Education, Leadership and Innovation in the Arts (CELIA).<\/p>\n
