	The Corpus Christi Arts & Cultural Commission celebrates its 6th Annual Festival of the Arts Saturday, March 29 ~ 10am-8pm FREE ADMISSION VISUAL ARTS EVENTS Italian Street Painting Observe internationally recognized guest artists Julie Kirk and Melanie Stimmell as they continue creating their Italian street painting art in the courtyard of the Art Center. Contact: Chris Semtner, (361) 826-3468 info@ccfestivalarts.org Deborah Males Love of nature and design has led Deborah Males to want to produce paintings that grow out of their environment. Ms. Males will paint during the Corpus Christi Festival of the Arts in plein aire (on location) as weather permits. Her demonstration will be conducted over 2 days, March 29th and 30th. Painting and drawing from life, she will discuss concepts that artists have used through history to be better observers. The work on those days will be the basis for a permanent painting for the City of Corpus Christi's collection. Greg Reuter & Jack Gron Texas A&M University Sculpture Professors Greg Reuter and Jack Gron will present an onsite casting demonstration in conjunction with the Festival of the Arts. The demonstration will feature a mobile foundry facility enabling the artists to conduct a series of castings in aluminum and bronze for the public to view. The resin sand molds that will be cast during the demonstration are to be patterns in bronze that become installed for public viewing on an entry wall of the Art Center. The pieces installed (3-5 castings) are to be bas-reliefs that contain images and symbols that feature aspects of Corpus Christi; especially of the sea and sky. This project enables the public to view the bronze casting process from start to finish. The final results of this workshop will be the basis for a permanate sculpture for the City of Corpus Christi's collection. Jim Tabor Sand Sculpting – Cooper’s Alley A huge sandbox filled with Yards of sand, will be formed into a sand sculpture, five hours in the making on Saturday.
