Holi Festival of Color

Holi Festival of Color

March 20, 2022

SOLD OUT

Dates: 3/20
Details: Sunday, 1 Session
Times: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Join the New Art Center for a festival of color to welcome Spring! Holi will start at 11 AM with artmaking including Madhubani flower pots, Rangoli sand art, and salad spinner splatter paintings. After getting creative with color, join Krithika Rajkumar for a dance demonstration and workshop where you can learn traditional Bharatanatyam dance. The conclusion of the event includes outdoor color play where you become the canvas for artmaking! You have the opportunity to participate in the very fun (and messy) tradition of throwing organic color powder at each other. Please wear white clothes you do not mind getting stained, protective eyewear or sunglasses, and bring towels for clean up afterward. There is no readmittance to the New Art Center building after color play.

Thank you for all of your interest. We have over 300 people registered and to safely hold this event we cannot accept more. Please feel free to drop by during the event to see if there is capacity though we cannot guarantee entry.

Art activities are geared toward ages 4 and up. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please review our COVID policies prior to visiting.

SOLD OUT!

Drop-ins are also welcome.

We would like to extend our thanks to Janhavi Wadhwani and Rakashi Chand for assisting in planning this event, coordinating with New Art to create an authentic experience, and connecting us with many members of our community.

A special thank you to our sponsors:

Massachusetts Cultural Council, Newton Cultural Council, and the Village Bank

REGISTRATION POLICIES

Insufficient Enrollment: The New Art Center will make a full refund for any class cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

Withdrawal: Up to 7 days before the first class, you may withdraw for a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per class. For any tuition payments paid by credit card your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund. Withdrawals from classes, workshops, and events under $40 are eligible for course credit only, less a $10 fee or the full tuition amount can be donated to the New Art Center. Donors will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes. Course credits are good for 1 year from the date of issue, after which time you will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes.

Summer Camp Withdrawal: All withdrawals for our Summer Camp must be made by June 9 to receive a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per week. For any tuition payments paid by credit card, your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund.

Student Absences: No refunds will be made for student absences including absences due to COVID or other sickness. We understand that students may have to miss class for a variety of reasons, but New Art decides whether or not to run a class before the term starts based on enrollment and sufficient tuition to cover our costs. Refunding students for individual absences makes it difficult to calculate a breakeven point for each class.

Faculty Absences: All efforts will be made to find a substitute for faculty absences. In the event that a class must be cancelled, students will be notified by email, which will be sent to the address provided during registration. One makeup class will be scheduled each term for a single absence by a faculty member. For multiple absences, a substitute faculty member will be assigned. There will be no refunds for faculty absences.

Scholarships: Limited scholarships are available according to need. Please apply here.
