A feast of Creativity and Fun for the Whole
Family!
The Dominion Post Create-it Carnival
The Dominion Post Create-It Carnival is a free day out for the whole family this Saturday, March 17, 10am-4pm in Civic Square. Everyone is welcome to join artists and craftspeople and learn to create something beautiful or unique.
Marquees will fill Civic Square, with opportunities for the whole family to join in and use a huge range of materials and techniques. All-day entertainment will be provided by talented performers who will fill the day with funky sounds and dance moves.
There will also be the sound of scissors clipping. Adults can test their faith in children and get their hair cut or just done in a funky do! A group of young people have spent an afternoon at Shadz Hair Art and a morning at Weltec’s Hair and Beauty School to see what it takes to cut and style hair. They’ll be eager to try out their new skills at the Carnival.
Fairy Trina will take the stage at 1.30pm to excite and mesmerize and at noon and 3:30pm, children will have a chance to display what they’ve made in the “Creations on Parade” led by MC Monique Vincent. Suzanne Tamaki is back to “Fresh it Up” with natural fibres and there’s also the chance to learn how to carve a piece of Oamaru stone and then add it to the collective work.
The Capital E National Arts Festival is the largest of festival of its kind in New Zealand. The 2007 programme features professional works from local and international artists that are both innovative and inspiring. Capital E is managed by the Wellington Museums Trust with major funding from the Wellington City Council.
