There are two great, family-oriented events taking place next Saturday, and you should make plans to attend at least one of them — preferably both!
The first one is Polk Museum of Art’s annual Family Day. The fun runs from 11am – 3pm, with the theme of “Going Green.” Art activities and projects will be eco-friendly, [...]
Just for the fun of it, Polk Museum of Art has gotten together with Explorations V and the Downtown Lakeland Partnership to create lots of fun stuff for First Friday (this Friday, the 5th!). One of the highlights is the sidewalk art contest for teens and adults that PMoA is hosting on the South Kentucky block (between [...]
So, I just found out about a really cool, innovative series of events happening this summer. I’d heard rumors of it, but this is the first I’d seen that showed it was a done deal. Polk Theatre and Florida Dance Theatre are teaming up with some serious local talent to present SummerJamz at Polk Theatre. [...]
Since I was out walking around MIDFLORIDA Mayfaire by-the-Lake this morning, I figured I’d go ahead and take a shot of the two Best of Show Winners:
Just a couple of shots I’ve taken so far at MIDFLORIDA Mayfaire by-the-Lake. It’s hot out here!! But the art is great and the food smells wonderful. I’m actually debating between a couple of necklaces…
Polk Museum of Art’s MIDFLORIDA Mayfaire by-the-Lake is in two weeks! I hope everyone is planning to attend this annual outdoor art festival. So many things happen within and around Mayfaire. Here’s the flyer/poster featuring artwork by Chris Boone.
There are a few art events happening in Lakeland this weekend that are worth noting and attending. I would be, but I’m skipping town this weekend to visit some friends who live north of Gainesville…
First, something involving kids:
Next, for lovers of Folk Art:
And finally, one I don’t have a flyer for: Lakeland Community Theatre’s production [...]
When the production of Dinner with Mark Twain hits Southeastern University’s Tuscana Ristorante this week, it will represent a series of “firsts” for the school’s theater department.
It will be the first time the department has taken on a dinner theater production. It will be the first original main stage production. The first compiled by a Southeastern alumna. The first time a student has directed a major Southeastern production. And it will be the first “theater-in-the-round” production.
Did anyone go see the Florida Dance Theatre performance Saturday night? It was really, really great. I’ve been going to quite a few dance concerts recently, and this was definitely one of the best. It was even better than the one I saw in Jacksonville at the beginning of March.
I don’t have the playbill in [...]
Florida Dance Theatre has just announced that they’re extending a special offer on tickets for their upcoming performance: buy one ticket, get one free! This offer not only applies to the general admission and childrens tickets, it also applies to the pre-performance V.I.P. Cocktail party tickets. Whoo hoo! Carol, the Artistic Director at FDT, decided [...]
