Day 24 - The Little Ones Come to Visit!

My campers went to a peace rally at the August Wilson Center today.  While they were out, I took the opportunity to allow some of the little campers to come visit ImaginationLand.  There was a steady stream of visitors all day and it was a lot of fun seeing their reaction to what we had built.  I encouraged them to look around and see if they could find anything that they might find in their own home .... plastic bottles, cardboard, styrofoam, CDs.  "You can make an ImaginationLand of your own at home!"  No reason we should have all the fun, right?

This project was made possible through the Arts in Education Partnership of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. The Arts in Education Partnership is administered in sw PA by Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Pittsburgh Center for the Arts (PF/PCA) is committed to the artist and the advancement of artistic excellence in visual arts – specifically film, video, photography, digital media, and fine and creative arts and crafts; the provision of equipment and facilities for artists; the conduct of instructional programs; and the stimulation of public understanding and awareness through exhibitions, demonstrations, and sales.
