Via Colori begins tomorrow!

Via Colori is a modern day expression of a centuries old art form. This annual event in Seaside, one of Seaside Neighborhood School's two big fundraisers each year, brings together more than three dozen artists to paint the street in Seaside Town Square. Each artist’s large scale masterpiece is sponsored by a business or individual and is created on the pavement of the closed-off streets of Seaside.
Via Colori is different from other festivals and is founded on a spirit of cooperation and non-competitiveness. There are no winners and no losers, just the collective creative expression of artists working together to support our school.

Weekend highlights will include:

 Sale of student art-work

 Auction of pieces from local artists

 Sale of cotton candy and other refreshments with proceeds benefiting the 8th grade trip

 Musical entertainment provided by Radio 30A, as well as live performances by Jimmy Ward and Friends

 Painting of street by local artists and students and face painting for the little ones!

Please join us on Saturday and Sunday and have a live art experience like no other!

Rapunzel, you can watch the art progress - that is the funn of it! Some artists take two days to finish. I think they will go to about 5 ish today and start back in the morning around 9:00.

Buy student art work - inexpensive, original works of art - great for vaction houses!

Also, the featured artists will have amazing work to bid on as well!
