East End Arts’ 16th Annual Community Mosaic
Street Painting Festival
Main St., Riverhead
FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
East End Arts is pleased to announce the 16th Annual Community Mosaic Street Painting Festival to be held Sunday, May 27, 2012, from 12PM to 5PM in downtown Riverhead, NY. Admission is free. The festival features street painting, an art form dating back to 16th Century Italy – called “I Madonnari” – where street painters created works of art in front of cathedrals to pay homage to the Virgin Mary. Today, street painters at the Community Mosaic Street Painting Festival create images ranging from: pop culture to historical figures, portraits to landscapes, comedy to tragedy. This beloved annual fun-for-the-whole-family festival includes street painting on Main Street, a fine arts & crafts market of local artists and artisans, live music on the Riverhead Town Show Mobile, storytelling, face painting for children, a drum circle, a Polka dance troupe, hoop dance demonstration, festival food, various arts, crafts, and music activities for the whole family, and more. In addition, Long Island’s Creative Vortex will be presenting “Shifting Realities Across Long Island”, a traveling, collaborative piece of artwork, where festival attendees will be invited to leave their mark and become a part of this unique experience.
