Festival of Arts!
This year is going to be crazy! (Look at the last post). As you know, school starts on Thursday, September 7th, 2006. Our first event is the Festival of Arts in Plainsboro on September 16th. We will be selling our artwork to raise money. There will also be demonstrations and preformances at the festival. The first meeting for the A.R.T.E will definetely be either on the 11th to the 14th, after school and during break (For those who do sports). This will also be the first oppurtunity to get community service hours. The festival will run from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. However set up and clean up is necessary so we will meet an hour early. If you are interested in helping out, whether it is volunteering or providing artwork, email us.
Plans for the Year
Hey
I have developed general goals for this year. Last semester we earned close to four hundred dollars. I am hoping this will increase to 1200 dollars. I would love more involvement from members, new and old.
Here is a list of events we are planning on attending:
Festival of Arts in Plainsboro, September 16, 1-5pm
Gala/ Celebration in Princeton, October 14
Cranbury Craft Show in Cranbury, March 10-11
Communversity in Princeton
School events (varies)
If anything else comes up I will find out more information.
Second of all, we are partnering with SLiC: Student Library Council and enhancing Reading Buddies. Our part will involve the art (obviously). Themes will be picked each month and we will think of ideas for arts and crafts so the kids have fun! This is a big oppurtunity for community service, whether it is helping on Reading Buddies/Mad art night or helping in getting the crafts ready. Remember fifty hours are needed to graduate.
If hours are still needed, an idea from our advisor, Dr. Dinan, came up last year. What do you think about a mural in the school? I'll make sure to bring this up at a meeting. Any questions email us!
Happy last days of summer and see you in a week!

Welcome to A.R.T.E
A.R.T.E: Artistically Reviving the Earth is a Princeton High School club.
How did it start?
The idea of the club came to me during the holidays of 2005. I needed enough community service hours , which was fifty hours. I have always wanted to use my talent in art to an advantage that would benefit others somehow. Then an idea struck me. Why don't I sell my artwork to raise money for an official non-profit organization. However, another idea struck me. Why just me? Why not the entire school or at least those interested, sell their artwork to help raise money.
What is our mission statement?
Our goal is to bring color to children's lives. This will be done locally and internationally. Locally, through an art/reading program in the library. Internationally, by sponsoring villages and children's education.
Interested in joining?
A.R.T.E is currently in one school: Princeton High School. However we want as many schools participating to help support our mission statement. For this reason if you are interested in getting your school involved, please email us at artisticallyrevivingtheearth@gmail.com and we will send you the details needed for the job.
Furthermore, if you go to Princeton High School and are interested in joining, just come to the next meeting.
