2012 Theme: "Just California." John Steven McGroarty wrote his iconic poem "Just California" in 1933, describing the idyllic and natural beauty of the state of California. We know California is more than the "...light of leaping rivers, and the flash of popped plains." California has long thrived on its continual reinvention.

We asked artists to investigate topics relevant to California: immigration, the impact of information technology on business and communication, California's tumultuous infrastructure, disastrous earthquakes and fires, racial panic, and unemployment. Explore their findings in the first ever Art Fair & Gallery at McGroarty Arts Center!

Join us for an inspiring, interactive Double Take performance by Benita Bike's DanceArt. The performance includes a special opportunity to talk to the artists and ask the questions that all audiences wonder about: How do you make a dance? How long do the dancers practice? How do the dancers remember all those moves?

DanceArt has presented it's Double Take dance education programs for 30 years throughout New England, California, and Kentucky. Through the modern dance approach to movement, DanceArt has awakened audiences of all ages to the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual value of dance.
