Fair on the Square at PlayhouseSquare Set for 4/23
The Community Engagement & Education Department at PlayhouseSquare will welcome hundreds of educators from all over Northeast Ohio to the 19th annual Fair on the Square presented by The Huntington National Bank on Monday, April 23 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the State Theatre. At this free arts education and field trip expo, the only event of its kind in Greater Cleveland, educators can network with colleagues and prepare for next school year.
“Our goal for Fair on the Square is to inspire and nurture educators in providing meaningful arts experiences for their students,” said Colleen Porter, vice president of community engagement & education at PlayhouseSquare. “We also aim to support and celebrate Northeast Ohio’s cultural community. Fair on the Square brings these two groups together for collaboration and networking to build a vibrant arts education community for our children.”
Those who attend Fair on the Square this year will have the opportunity to browse through more than 60 exhibits to learn about field trips and curriculum enhancement opportunities available throughout Northeast Ohio for the 2012-13 school year. Some of the exhibitors for this year include the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Goodtime III, Lake Metroparks, Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, National Park Service, and Stocker Arts Center.
Fair on the Square is also the first opportunity for educators to find out what shows will be presented by the Community Engagement & Education Department as part of the 2012-13 Children’s Theater Series for Schools. “The 2012-2013 season marks the 30th anniversary of the Children’s Theater Series at PlayhouseSquare, and we are very proud of the series we’ve put together for next year. There will be a wide variety of opportunities for educators to share the experience of live theater with their students,” explained Porter.
Support for Fair on the Square is provided by The Huntington National Bank, Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, Dominion, the Ohio Arts Council, Time Warner Cable and WFHM 95.5 FM “The Fish.”
