Arts-based Preschool 25th Anniversary Event

25 Years Of Inspiration!

The Lawrence Arts Center Preschool 25th Anniversary Reunion Celebration: Saturday, April 16
“Still Inspired” Alumni Exhibit, April 11-17th

Join us for an alumni exhibit, open house, music jam session, and more! Reminisce with each other as you enjoy some favorite art activities from through the years.

Remember the day you wore your pajamas to preschool and made pancakes? Or raced cars down a ramp with paint on the wheels? Or climbed a ladder with a paint-drenched, sand-filled sock and dropped it on the paper on the floor? Or counted down the days for the chicks to hatch? Those were the days at the Lawrence Arts Center Preschool in the old Carnegie Building at 9th and Vermont, and it all still happens at our current location, 940 New Hampshire.

In celebration of 25 Years of Inspiration, the Arts-Based Preschool will host a 25th Anniversary Reunion Celebration on Saturday, April 16, 1-5pm, at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire. Renew old friendships, tour the “new” preschool classrooms, create art with some of our favorite art activities, and share your creative talents.

The 2010-2011 preschool classes’ art exhibit will be on display in the large gallery and an alumni exhibit titled “Still Inspired” will be on display in the small gallery April 11-17th. WE WANT YOU! to share a piece of your artwork for the exhibit, and include a preschool-age photo and a current photo with our artist statement. Artwork can be visual—2-D or 3-D, literary, or musical. Musical entries will be performed at the 25th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, April 16th from 1-5 p.m. at the Lawrence Arts Center.

Musicians are also invited to share their talents. Bring your musical instrument (we’ll have an electric keyboard or upright piano available) and plan to perform an etude, solo, duet, trio, etc., and participate in the open-mic format where students sign up on a list as they arrive. We’ll wrap up the musical events with a rhythm circle and invite all present to participate. We’ll need to know your interest and instrument (remember your voice is an instrument, as well), so please contact Linda at preschool@lawrenceartscenter.org.

Other surprises and activities are in store, so plan to attend the celebration on April 16. Share this information with your friends and contacts both in person and through social media because we want to connect with as many of our former students as possible.
