The Academy of World Languages (http://awl.cps-k12.org) is getting ready to host its 2011 Annual International Festival
AWL is a Cincinnati Public School where students from over 40 countries from around the world learn Chinese, Arabic, Russian Japanese or English as a Second Language.
The date is set for Saturday, May 21, and everybody is invited to participate and support. So please spread the word to all international groups and let us know if you or your group would like to participate.
AWL (Academy of World Languages)
2030 Fairfax Ave Cincinnati, Ohio 45207
To get a better idea about the AWL International Festival, please watch the video from last year:
A child must be able toexpress how he or shefeels with freedomand safety.
Allowing a child to paint, sculpt, play-dance, and imagine with freedom,and without boundaries,opens their mind and frees their spirit!
Classes begin May 31st!* for 3 to 5 years *
In either English or Spanish, children discover the joys of music, art,movement, and theater, all of whichprovide a healthy outletfor many of the strong emotions thatchildren experience!
This year's Arte Latino, as part of of ArtsWave's Sampler Weekend, moved to AMIS (Academy of Multilingal Immersion Studies), located at 1908 Seymour Ave. in Cincinnati.
Every year, the ArtsWave Sampler Weekends, sponsored by Macy’s, celebrate the creative things — music, dance, theater, museums, and festivals — happening in large and small ways throughout our region. These weekends are great opportunities for families, friends, and neighbors to connect with one another and experience the arts through free events. The six weekends will offer some 180 events at over 75 venues all over the region.
As in previous years, many local Latino artists will perform and present their art (dance, music, visual arts). See a video from Arte Latino 2011 below:
