Celebrating the Creative Process

The East End Arts Council's spring celebration of the creative process will culminate with the 12th Annual Community Mosaic Street Painting Festival on Sunday, May 25.

Come down to East Main Street in Riverhead to experience the creative process of various types of arts. Utilizing improv participation from the audience, EEAC theatre students will demonstrate a "drama in process," while storytellers will explain how they construct their tales. Hand drummers and jazz musicians will demonstrate their songwriting process and discuss how improvisation affects their work.

Throughout the day, local artists will demonstrate the art of street painting, highlighting their process as they create a work of art from scratch. Anyone over 12 can show off his or her own artistic ability and participate as a street painter as well.

The festival is free and all ages are welcome. For more information, call the EEAC's School of the Arts at 631-369-2171.
