After the excitement and interest caused by the recent Russian Festival at the Newton Cultural Center, the Mayor’s Office for Cultural Affairs is planning an Indian Festival in November. If you are interested in participating in the planning stages and sharing any ideas, we would love your input. We would also love to hear ideas you may have about other Festivals that we could hold at the Newton Cultural Center. The Festival could feature music, dance, fashion, history, art, crafts and anything that would celebrate a culture and share it with the community. The next planning meeting for the Indian Festival is June 7, 10:00am at the Newton Cultural Center, 225 Nevada Street. If you would like to attend, please contact jsmith@newtonma.gov or call 617-527-8283

Call for Local Artists!
Newton Community Education would like to invite all Newton artists to apply for a display spot at this year’s Celebrate Newton crafts fair, to be held on December 2nd, 2012 at Newton South High School.
Celebrate Newton is an annual juried arts and crafts fair that honors the work of outstanding artisans who are residents of Newton or are in some other way connected to the city. Over 50 artisans display and sell their work at the fair; they include weavers, jewelers, quilters, potters, printers, photographers and more. Live music, food, and crafts activities for kids make the fair a wonderful, warm family event. Applications are available on our website www.celebratenewton.com.
This citywide event is sponsored by Newton Community Education, a self-sustaining arm of Newton Public Schools that offers a large variety of classes for both children and adults. Proceeds will benefit our scholarship fund and will help us to grow our program of course offerings.
