Save up your unwanted, gently worn clothes, shoes and accessories and trade-them-out for new-to-you treasures at the Clothes Swap this Saturday, August 27th, from 1p – 5p. In addition to recycling in the best way possible – re-use – this event also raises funds for the Fremont Arts Council!
The Fremont Neighborhood Council (FNC) monthly meeting for August will be held this Monday, on the 22nd, starting at 7p. Starting this month, the volunteer organization has changed the location of their meeting from History House to Doric Lodge #92 at 619 N 35th Street.
Volunteers are needed for a painting party scheduled for THIS SATURDAY, August 13th, from 10a – 2p, to remove graffiti from the beleaguered Bridge Way Mural. At 10a, volunteers can meet at the Powerhouse (3940 Fremont Avenue North) to help carry paint and supplies up to the mural. At the mural, volunteers will be needed all day to wield a paintbrush, cleaning supplies, and doing some landscaping at the mural along Bridge Way under Aurora Avenue.
This Friday night, June 17th, starting at 9p, you can witness the most amazing spectacle ever – the Solstice Parade in reverse! The floats that will be on-display during the parade on Saturday at Noon need to be moved into place – they are big, they are heavy, and many hands make light work. Plus, it’s a great way to help the parade, and get a sneak peek!
You can go sit and watch the Solstice Parade, at Noon, on Saturday, June 18th – or you can participate! Why be passive when you can be an active part of this incredible experience? Imagine being a part of it all! Questions? Contact volunteers@fremontartscouncil.org if you need more details on how to get involved.
Less than two weeks left to the Fremont Arts Council Solstice Parade, and a stroll past the Powerhouse (3940 Fremont Ave N) will offer plenty of opportunities to, “Here, hold this!”
While watching the Fremont Arts Council (FAC) Solstice Parade is nifty-keen, being a part of building this incredible piece of celebration art will provide rush beyond description. Perhaps best of all, a contribution can be large or very, very small.
This Saturday, May 21st, two work parties will take place in Fremont – near in location but very different in what they need doing. The Troll’s Knoll and History House need warm bodies, and willing hands, to get bea-u-ti-ful for summer!
On Saturday, May 14th, starting at Noon, volunteers are needed to help with the pre-parade, as the Fremont Arts Council (FAC) shifts float bodies from winter storage to the art studio. On Tuesday, May 17th, visit the Artists’ Reception, at the Fremont Abbey at 7p, to see the floats for the 2011 Solstice Parade. And, on May 21st, attend the Grand Opening of the Solstice Parade build, at the Powerhouse (3940 Fremont Avenue North) at Noon.
Saturday, May 14th, from Noon – 4p, will be the first volunteer community party for the Fremont Wetland Trail Park. Come out and help other Fremonsters – and anyone with a will to hike and explore nature in the middle of Seattle – clean up and start creating a community-based green space, just south of the Fremont Bridge.
