Southern Aroostook Cultural Arts Project, in partnership with the Houlton Community Arts Center Council, are proud to present the Robinson Ballet Company’s “Nutcracker” to be performed Nov. 27th at 2pm. This traditional holiday classic, set to Tchaikovsky’s score, is a favorite for both young and old. The ballet will be performed with a full cast of 45 dancers, colorful sets and costumes, and will include some of our own local talent – thus making it a true community event. Don’t miss out on this one performance. It will be a great way to kick off hte holiday season. Organizers are thrilled to have Robinson ballet back in Houlton. The event will be held at the newly renovated Houlton Community Arts Center auditorium located at Houlton High School.

In 2009, the IFC launched its current project, the Dream Rocket, which is a large scale collaborative wrap, for which up to 8,000 artworks are being collected from various regions all over the world, and then connected side by side to wrap the 365′ Saturn V Moon Rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The designated theme of the panels, “Dare to Dream”, challenges individuals to expand beyond the present state of the world and imagine the future. Perhaps most importantly, individuals are challenged to imagine their contribution to that future. These individual dreams and aspirations will combine to create a monumental 32,000 sq ft work of art, providing a tangible demonstration of the beauty of individuals collaborating to meet universal challenges.
While the Dream Rocket team works on collecting submitted artworks for this giant wrap, they are placing submitted work on display in national and international venues up until the time that the Saturn V is wrapped. In just this past year, submitted artworks have participated in 44 exhibits and counting.
Don’t miss out on seeing this important exhibition! Hung through Oct 1, 2011. If you’d like more information about this project, please contact us at 207.523.9119.
