Arts Week 17 (2024)
APRIL 29th 2024 -MAY 3 2024
Theme: The Sun
The Sun has always been a powerful symbol. It is our most vital solar body, the only reason we can live and thrive on planet earth. Today, we understand more about the sun than we ever have. But even in ancient times, people recognized its importance—we need sunlight for warmth, to grow our food, and to sustain natural cycles. We draw focus on the sun this year to increase awareness of global warming and creative measures designed to save our planet.
