Today at the Fremont Arts Council (FAC) Powerhouse Open House there will be representatives from ensembles already registered to participate in the 2019 Fremont Solstice Parade, on June 22nd at 1p. These are the winners of the Dave McKay Grant funds, allowing them to realize their visions and bring more art to the Parade.
On Saturday, May 18th, from 1p – 5p, the Fremont Arts Council welcomes everyone to come start the celebration of the Summer Solstice – and find your place in the 31st Annual Fremont Solstice Parade & Celebration coming on June 22nd.
On Saturday, June 22nd, the Fremont Arts Council will bring the Solstice Parade back to our streets, starting at 1p. This year, for the very first time, the Fremont Arts Council is attempting to formally schedule the Solstice Cyclists and all other painted bicycle riders, for 2:30p on June 22nd – AFTER THE SOLSTICE PARADE.
As Moisture Festival runs into its second to last week, the Down Under Gallery is displaying some of the hundreds of photos of the performers at the vaudeville showcase, taken by Michelle Bates. Her show, ‘15 Years of Moisture Festival’, captures the magic and mischief of Moisture, in a permanent and collectible form.
For the Solstice Parade, everyone is an artist! Everyone can participate and create for the FAC celebration of summer and community.
The Fremont Arts Council (FAC) is involved in two extremely creative and unique events – and they are looking for others to join in the celebrations!
On Saturday, June 16th, at 1p, the Fremont Arts Council will present the 30th Annual Fremont Solstice Parade – a cavalcade of creative expression, and volunteer sweat equity. This legendary procession will dance down the streets of Fremont, east from 2nd Ave NW to Gas Works Park, displaying art installations all along the way.
Among the outrageous and awesome installations of art in the Fremont Solstice Parade, look for the VAM Studios School of Dance ensemble, sporting bowler hats and canes, with the dancers painted similarly.
Get your hands dirty, glittery, sticky, paint-y, or whatever it takes to be creative. Attend a Fremont Arts Council Fremont Solstice Parade workshop (all ages and skill levels invited,) with snacks provided.
The Fremont Arts Council is currently recruiting members for its vital Green Hat Ensemble – a 30+ squad of magically costumed, philanthropic volunteers who inspire and solicit Solstice audience members to give generously to funding the Fremont Solstice Parade.
