The Artists' Exchange Takes A Step Toward Revitalizing Rolfe Square.
Cranston, RI – The Artists' Exchange is pleased to present the first annual Fall Out of Summer (FOOS) Festival on Sunday, September 14, 2008. The event will feature live music, theatre, art activities and contests, food and artisan vendors, a summer camp art show, and a film screening at dusk. The festivities begin at 12pm and will end at approximately 10pm.
The goal of the event is two-fold: to take a long-awaited step toward revitalizing the Rolfe Square community and to raise much needed funds to help The Artists' Exchange continue to offer a lively and enriching calendar of events and classes to the public.
Artisans will be showcasing a variety of wares, from jewelry and pottery to handcrafted items made from reclaimed materials. Food vendors will represent local Cranston businesses and will offer a range of choices to satisfy any palate and appetite.
The performance line-up will include art demos, live music, dance and theatre, including excerpted scenes from The Black Box Theatre's production of Aristophanes' "The Clouds."
Attendees will be able to participate in a variety of hands-on activities and art contests, as well as a series of raffles. Discounts will also be offered on fall class registration.
At dusk, everyone is welcome to bring a lawn chair to watch a screening of the 1985 classic family adventure comedy "The Goonies."
Sponsors include Motif Magazine, Windmill Studios and the RIFC (Rhode Island Film Collaborative).
In the event of rain, the FOOS Festival will take place the following Sunday, September 21. For more information, contact Christina Mealey at 401.490.9475.
