On June 18th, The Arts of Life will host a classic carnival and fundraiser in celebration of a community of people in the Chicago area, with and without disabilities, who create an artistic culture where they can realize their full potential.
This carnival is the perfect event for arts-supporters of all ages to take chances in the dunk tank, at the bucket toss, and as contestants at the premier of The Arts of Life game show, Art or No Art. The face-painting booth will transform carnival-goers into living works-of-art painted by The Arts of Life artists. Plus, raffle-prize winners will have a chance to take home an original artwork, created by an Arts of Life artist, as well as other fabulous prizes.
All your concession-stand favorites will be on hand featuring hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy, Gatorade, and ice-cold Pabst Blue Ribbon.
The event will take place at The Arts of Life North Shore Studio located at 1963 Johns Drive, Glenview, IL 60025 on June 18th from 4-8 PM. Cost: $30 adults with advance tickets from http://www.artsoflife.org/events before June 11, 2011, or $40 for adults at the door. Kids under 12 are FREE.
Adult guests will receive 15 carnival tickets and kids will receive 7 tickets with admission to the event. Tickets can be applied toward games, food, and drinks. Raffle tickets will be accommodated separately.
The event is open to the public, and is made possible through the support of sponsors of The Arts of Life including Gatorade, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Ice Cream Team, Red Rabbit Catering, Quaker Oats and CityArts Grants.
