The Culver City community is invited to the Farragut Elementary campus on Saturday, from 11 until 4, for Artworks! for Kids, a fun, free celebration of arts education in our schools.
 
Families will enjoy performances, workshops and art happenings throughout the day.  Groups from schools throughout Culver City will take the stage.  Performances range from Taiko Drumming to Flamenco Dancing to the Culver City Middle School Improv Troupe. 
 
Kids can take part in a wide variety of hands-on experiences. Learn how to make beautiful candles – develop your artistic skills with Mission: Renaissance – dive into “Save Our Seas,” an environmentally-themed group art project.  It’s all fun.
 
Artworks! is all about the arts in our schools. Farragut students chose their favorite pieces of the art they have made this year for a group art show that will be on display all day in the school’s cafeteria.
 
Food, desserts and coffee drinks will be available for purchase. There will be a silent auction with dozens of items available for the whole family, as well beautiful gifts at the Artworks! Boutique. The Artworks! Online Auction, featuring hundreds of finds, is open for business from April 13 through April 23 at www.FarragutFanClub.org.
 
Proceeds from Artworks! events support the arts education and programming enjoyed by all Farragut students.
 
Farragut Elementary School is at 10820 Farragut Dr., Culver City.
