Event Description:
Connections 4 Kids, the early childhood council of Moffat and Rio Blanco counties, is hosting its third annual Cherish the Little Things children’s art show.
The show will feature more than 300 pieces of art created by Moffat County youths in preschool through high school.
During the ArtWalk on Saturday, the show will include free art workshops for children ages 4 to 18. The art workshops, led by community volunteers, are offered free to local children.
Children may attend one art workshop each and registration is not required. A parent or guardian must accompany all children age 11 and younger.
At the art show, community members may vote by their monetary donations on their favorite pieces among 20 finalists in preschool through fifth grade. The top vote-getter will be featured on the cover of the 2014-2015 Connections 4 Kids calendar, which will feature important dates, activities and ideas for families and will be distributed throughout Moffat County. The next top 12 vote-getters will each be placed on their own month, while the seven runners-up will be featured in a tiled fashion on the final month of the school year calendar.
Prints of the 20 finalist art pieces and ornaments featuring miniature versions of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 finalist pieces on small easels will be for sale.
Proceeds from art show sponsorships, finalist voting, prints and ornaments will support Connections 4 Kids’ projects in its four areas of focus: health; early learning; social, emotional and mental health; and family support and parent education.
