“Empty
Bowls,” a beloved program of the festival from 1996 through
2007, facilitated the involvement of young people in both art and
social change through their art-class creation and subsequent day-of
sale of ceramic bowls to benefit area food banks. “Empty Bowls”
was introduced to the MAF and then coordinated for over a decade
by Marion High School art teacher Barb Shultz, who has provided
the MAF with more than a spring-board toward the creation of a new
festival program; indeed, her dedication to “Empty Bowls”
for eleven years left a genuine a legacy of art-meets-community-meets-festival
fun. For
2008, the MAF has partnered with the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art
Introducing “My Kid Could Do That!”
Come join the fun! Make a hand-made Mother’s or Father’s Day card! From 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., families will learn and be involved in a variety of printmaking processes, a theme which ties into the museum’s large print collection. "Family Fun Day" will find adults and children working alongside professional artists, getting dirty hands-on while experimenting with different techniques.
Then volunteer with us on festival day! Contact MAF director Deb Bailey by email at mafdirector@marioncc.org or CRMA Education Coordinator Andrea Jilovec at AJilovec@crma.org
