Parents as Arts Partners and the Center for Arts Education present the first of three FREE family workshops on Tuesday, January 29th from 6:00 PM-7:30 PM: Mr. Kwak Kay Choey of City Lore returns to PS 29 to offer parents the opportunity to share together with our children in his arts residency!
At the upcoming workshop, which already has a wait list, participants will learn to say a few Mandarin phrases, listen to traditional Chinese music, learn to laugh through Tai Chi, and participate in Chinese watercolor brush painting! Healthy snacks and refreshments will be provided.
The limit of 28 participants for this workshop was quickly reached, but if you want to add your family to the wait list, please contact Nina Jalowayski, 347-463-9641, by Wednesday, January 23rd.
This workshop is funded by a Parents for Arts Partner grant from the Center for Arts Education. Members of the PTA Arts Committee last fall submitted the successful application. (This year's competition for the grant was steeper than ever: Only one in two applications were funded, and 40 percent of grant recipients were first-time applicants.)
At a welcoming celebration at NYU on Wednesday, January 31st, PS 29 Arts Committee representatives will be congratulated and will work with CAE staff at workshops on successful program design, building parent advocates, and connecting to New York City's vast creative industry.
The PTA extends an enormous thank you tor Kristen Adamczyk and Nina Jalowayski for spearheading the PS 29 2008 PAAP program!!! (Photos by Nina Jalowayski, from Mr. Choey's PS 29 residency this month.)
