The Corpus Christi Arts & Cultural Commission celebrates its 5th Annual Festival of the Arts at the Art Center of Corpus Christi. In addition to an array of music, dance, theater and cinema, the festival included KidZone, poetry & literature readings, art exhibits, lectures & workshops. There were demos of Italian Street Painting, Metal Forging, Raku Firing & glazing, sculpture, and Bronze Casting. Artists, artisans, craftsmen, & food vendors sold their wares. Many visitors hopped on the Festival of the Arts Downtown Art Tour Tram to view some of the city's permanent art collections.
Devan and Peep went to the Art Center for the Islands Spring Break Art Camp. Ten happy young artists spent the week learning about and creating art. The week ended with an Art Show for the parents. A great time was had by all, especially Peep.
I just can't help but love beach glass. Every piece is different and there's such a mystery about it. Where did it come from? What did it used to be? What does it want to become? Wandering my cove looking or new pieces is so peaceful and relaxing.
I just love to drive around on a clear day looking for photo ops! This beautiful February day gave us these lovely local shore bird shots. I hope you enjoy looking as much as I did taking them.
Welcome to my Beachcombers Cove Blog. In it I hope you will find some interesting views of art, handmade jewelry, birds, music, family, and life in general. Remember, life is too short to do without the arts.
