On Wednesday, December 21st, the Fremont Arts Council will celebrate the Winter Solstice with a potluck feast and grand installation of art. They have found a space for this intimate party for 600, near the Mt. Baker Light Rail Station in the Central District. Now they need volunteers to come together and get the space ready for serving up the Feast of the Winter Solstice!
This annual celebration is for Fremont Arts Council members and their close friends – basically anyone who supports the FAC beliefs in community art. Many hands make light, and lively, work on the Feast, and volunteers earn their way into the party. This year, Feast attendees will also be asked to contribute a $35 donation towards rental of the space, and supplies, in addition to their contributions of sweat equity and artistic innovation.
Work parties will take place from Noon – 10p on Friday, December 16 through Tuesday, December 20th. Last minute finishing touches will be made from Noon – 5p on December 21st, with clean-up being done all day Thursday, December 22nd and the morning of December 23rd. Two and three hour volunteer shifts are available throughout this schedule. Volunteer on the FAC website Feast-Registration page.
Also, join in the opening ceremony, to bless the Feasting Space, on Thursday, Dec 15th at 7p. Find out how, and where, through the Fremont Arts Council website – or the FAC Facebook page.
Celebrate the Solstice, and the community of the FAC, at the annual Feast of the Winter Solstice!
