Creative Arts at Park, a summer program of the Park School, hosted a festival showcasing the work of young artists ages 8 to 15 yesterday at the school's Goddard Avenue campus.
The festival was the culmination of a five-week program that allows campers choose what discipline they wish to concentrate on, according to Kippy Dewey, the camp's founding director. Classes ranged from music, photography, pottery, stained glass and drawing, along with theater arts. The festival, held July 30 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. was open to the public.
Opening the festival this morning was a musical rendition of Mark Twain's classic "Tom Sawyer," which drew a large enough audience that there was standing room only in the theater. In the main lobby, exhibits included impressive art work by the campers. Dewey said Creative Arts is designed so that campers can focus on one particular discipline throughout the program, allowing them to be as creative as they want and not be distracted by other projects, as can happen during the regular school year.
