GreenFest
UPDATE
GreenFest is taking a new approach to the GreenFestival happening March 2. All of this rain, while good for the environment, is putting a damper on the events. The GreenFestival will be relocated to Cafe Dining, which will be turned into a fun pre-concert event with Henna, Trash Bin Painting Competition and Crystal Wrapping demos. A full list of student performers will be warming up the crowd before the concert starts.
The Concert will take place as planned, and GreenFest will be handing out biodegradable ponchos for the first 300 students in attendance. Tickets are still available, so go and watch A.S.'s very own Deion Selma perform as the student opener.

14th Annual A is for Art
2018
A is for Art, a program of the SDSU Children's Center, showcases the amazing potential for creative expression by children between 6 months to 5 years of age. Each spring, special A is for Art events are held to raise awareness and funds to promote art education at the Children’s Center. Each classroom selects an artist living and working in the United States to study and then uses that artist's painting techniques and style to create their own collaborative masterpiece.
The center hosts a Sneak Peek at the Open House event on March 17 for all Children’s Center families, staff, alumni, and friends. This event is great for the whole family. We have activities for the children and opportunity drawings for the adults. This is a chance to get a sneak peek of the beautiful canvases that will be auctioned off at our second event, A is for Art Gala.
The A is for Art Gala, an adult only event, is open to the public on April 21, at the Mingei International Museum at Balboa Park. For a small donation of $5.00 you can enjoy beer, wine, appetizers, the children’s artwork, exploring the entire museum, participate in the live auction and the opportunity basket drawings. It is definitely a must see event!
