In addition, over 50, not for profit interactive and merchandise booths offer artwork, clothing, and jewelry for sale. Kids will find arts projects and activities such as puppet making with a puppet stage, creating images of their families that connect to others on a mural, and paper Peace Crane folding. Adults enjoy the Issues Mural where they identify issues important to them, and selfies taken with the hand painted APD life size cultural figures. Prizes donated by local artists and businesses will be raffled off throughout the day as well, so there’s something for everyone. Prior to all this, a free workshop from 9:30am to 11:00 am will teach young children to make the Craft Dough People, graphically illustrating that all people are made from the same materials and should therefore be treated with equal respect. Pre-registration for the workshop is open to the first 30 kids, age’s four to eleven, who sign-up by calling (561) 495-9818. A packaged craft kit, based on this project, is available for a donation.
