Friday every month from April through September. Starting in July of 2008, with the help of a <br /> grant from the Orange County Arts Commission the Arts Council has offered more art <br /> educational programming to the Last Fridays venue during the spring and summer months. <br /> By offering educational art programming during the event,we have been able to reach marry <br /> children who might otherwise not get this type of artistic educational exposure. The Childre ri's <br /> Art Educational Area has been very successful and wonderfully received. It often has so ma n <br /> children that the parents pitch in to help, and activities spread beyond the tables onto the lair I). <br /> We will be rehiring some of the very popular artists and adding new ones to the itinerary. Our <br /> mission is "to enrich our community through the arts." We would like to continue bringing <br /> educational opportunities to the public through existing venues, including Last Fridays. <br /> We will continue to hire visual and performing artist that will be offering direct interaction v,It h <br /> the younger audiences. In the summer months of Last Fridays, the hired artists will be <br /> demonstrating printmaking on fabric, mask making, storytelling, creating musical instrumen t s, <br /> the art of mime, and pottery. <br />
