Festival Displays A Tapestry Of Arts

The Shoreline Arts Festival opens Saturday, June 27 for a two day celebration of community arts.

This year, the Festival's theme, "Weaving a Cultural Tapestry," features the arts and heritage of many local cultural groups.

A diverse range of music, dance, theater, and all of the visual arts are included in the festival, which takes place on the grounds of the Shoreline Center.

Performing artists on the Shoreline Room Stage this weekend include Rhys Thomas and Jugglemania, the Shoreline Senior Singers, Baile Glas Irish Dancers, Filipiniana Dancers, Deaf Dancers, Melody Institute Chinese Dance, Hokulani's Hula Studio & the Kupunas, Eclectic Cloggers (Appalachian Folkdance), Lakota traditional music by Cindy Minkler and Rhythms of India dancers.

Festival attendees can explore the Juried Art Shows and the booths in the Artists Marketplace. Adjacent to the offerings of the Food Court, the Showmobile Stage features popular bands and danceable music with acts like the steel drums of Panduo, blues with the Dented Trucks, Spirit of Ojah's African rhythms and funk, rock 'n roll classics with Timeslip, the indie pop rock of Kris Orlowski and lively Latin music with Cocoloco.

Art projects in the popular Children's Hands-on Art Arena will relate to the theme this year. Again this year, the Northwest Collage Society will sponsor an exhibit and collage making workshop using recycled materials.
