Oh, la la… Via Colori will be held the very same week-end in the area surrounding Murphy park (58^th Ave and Glendale )..What a great show, over 100 artists have already signed up.. Via Colori Glendale : http://www.viacolori.com/city-index.asp?cityid=15

Glendale Via Colori® Street Painting Festival and Art Show is set for Saturday and Sunday, March 6-7, 2010, in and surrounding beautiful Murphy Park in Historic Downtown Glendale (58th Ave. and Glendale). Glendale Via Colori is hosted by Scottsdale Airpark Rotary Club, and all of the net proceeds will benefit Rotary charities in this region.

Admission is free for all Via Colori events. Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days and will feature a juried art show, food and music, along with the fascinating process of street-painting. It is a family event, with plenty of entertainment for visitors of every age.

Via Colori street-painting is the modern-day expression of a centuries-old art form. This very special annual event gathers more than 100 artists in each of more than a half-dozen cities. Each artist's large-scale masterpiece is sponsored by a business or individual, and is created directly on the pavement of closed-off city streets.

Via Colori is different from other festivals. It is a celebration of creativity and is founded on a spirit of cooperation and non-competitiveness. There are no winners or losers, just the collected creative expression of artists working together to support a cause.

There will be more than 100 large-scale pastel masterpieces drawn directly on the pavement around Murphy Park. Any adult can sign up to be a Via Colori® artist. Typically, about 20% of Via Colori's artists are full-time professional artists. About 40% are categorized as talented hobbyists, people who show and may sell their works, but still have a day job. The remaining 40% are arts enthusiasts who draw for the love of it. Occasionally, families will sign up to paint a square together, or a high school class under the direct supervision of a teacher will take on a square.

Head of the Glendale Via Colori is Dr. Al Schwartz of Scottsdale Airpark Rotary Club. For more information about Glendale Via Colori, visit www.viacolori.com and click on Glendale in the list of host cities.

Rotary is an organization of business and professional men and women united worldwide to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and promote international understanding and world peace. Founded in 1905, Rotary has over 1.2 million service-minded members in nearly 32,000 clubs in 168 countries.
