Arts in Action: The 10 Weeks Festival
 Springfield Arts Organizations Come Together to Present Arts in Action: The 10 Weeks Festival
The Arts Programming Sustainability Initiative (APSI), an effort led by
the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, announces Arts in Action: The
10 Weeks Festival, a collaborative event that highlights ten weeks of
over 100 arts events and performances throughout the city to raise
money for arts in education and children in Springfield Public Schools.
The 10 Weeks Festival will run from March 14, 2009 through May 31, 2009
and will feature existing arts events, festivals, performances and
concerts by the following arts organizations:
· Artsfest presented by the Springfield Regional Arts Council
· Boys Choir of Springfield
· Children's Choirs of Southwest Missouri
· Drury University Art and Art History, Music and Theatre Departments
· First Friday Art Walk
· Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts
· Missouri State University Theatre and Dance Department
· Poor Thespians Theatre at The Gillioz
· SATO (Springfield And The Ozarks) 48 Hour Film Challenge
· Self-Employment in the Arts OzArts Conference
· Springfield Ballet
· The Skinny Improv
· Springfield Little Theatre
· Springfield Playhouse
· Springfield Regional Opera
· Springfield Symphony Orchestra
· Swan Repertory Theatre
Attendees will be asked to donate $1 (or more) per ticket throughout
The 10 Weeks Festival with a goal of raising at least $10,000 in 10
Weeks. Donated funds will then be split evenly between a new Arts in
Education Endowment at the Community Foundation of the Ozarks that will
provide funding for arts organizations to take programs into area
schools and the Care to Learn Fund (with a fund match of 3 to 1),
established to help meet the basic needs of Springfield Public School
students directly aiding in the mission of the Mayor's Commission for
Children.
Arts in Action: The 10 Weeks Festival provides an opportunity for
arts organizations to come together in a series of events linked under
one umbrella and tangibly benefit children and the arts, believing that
to sustain the arts, the arts have to help sustain the community.
For more information, call 417-862-ARTS. The festival's website,
The10Weeks.com, will launch when the festival begins on Saturday, March
14.
Arts in Action: The 10 Weeks Festival was created by the Arts

Community Foundation of the Ozarks.
