Krannert Center Student Association Announces Their Annual Community Event Taste of the Arts

The Krannert Center Student Association (KCSA) will hold their annual Taste of the Arts Festival on November 3, 2007, from 12-4 pm. This is a free community event for all University students and the Champaign-Urbana community. There will be two stages featuring 10-15 minute performances throughout the event that will showcase local University talent. Performances will range from ballet to break dancing, swing dance to sign language. With various a cappella groups, juggling, and theatre, everyone can find something of interest. There will also be a kid’s craft corner and a cake decorating demonstration from the Meijer bakers. An art gallery will feature a display from the UIUC Art Club, photography by the Society of Architectural Historians, and the Krannert Costume Department. To top it off, free refreshments from the Cookie Jar and lemonade will be offered as supplies last. For a chance to win two complimentary tickets to a Krannert event, festival guests may purchase raffle tickets. All ages are invited to this free celebration of art in all forms. For more information, or a detailed performance schedule, please contact KCSA.
