| FAC writes: This has truly been a challenging year, filled with clashing passions, troubling headlines, fear and frustration. Even more reason to come together to engage in reflection, artistic expression, and most of all, community.
The 2016 Feast of the Winter Solstice is quickly approaching; a turning point marking the rebirth of the sun out of the darkest, longest night of the year. Planning is underway for our time to frolic with family and friends in an artful celebration of this turn of the wheel! The latest news is that we have secured a space for the Feast! (to be announced soon) So now we are calling upon you, our members and friends, to sign up for a crew to get this spectacular celebration off the ground!
This year’s feast will be an invitation-only potluck exclusively for FAC members and their guests, not open to the general public. This is a celebration we are throwing for ourselves to celebrate the year gone by, and the new year to come! So FAC members and guests are encouraged to participate in helping create the feast in some way. In exchange for entrance, we are asking that FAC members and guests either sign up for a volunteer slot as a member of a feast crew, or pay a minimum suggested donation for entry. We plan to use only volunteers to create the event. Crew leads will receive a specific number of free admissions for their crews. Below is a list of feast crews. Some lead positions are already filled, so let us know as soon as possible if you would like to lead a crew. Co-leads are welcome. email volunteer@fremontartscouncil.org if you are interested; or better yet, show up at the Planning Meeting on November 28th. We will be sending out a call for artists for feast installations. We will also be collecting goo gaws, greenery, pillows and the usual list of fun things for creating the feast. Information about powerhouse art workshops and on-line feast and volunteer registration will be coming out soon as well.
