The Ananda Center for the Arts will host ArtSyrcus on Saturday, August 18, from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. Duncan Plaza in Massillon will be a colorful collage of arts activities—a free day of family-friendly fun—punctuated with cotton candy, popcorn, balloons, and face painters. Organizers are now seeking dancers, art vendors, and musicians, as well as clowns, stilt walkers, and similar entertainers who are willing to showcase their talents to help present a community event brimming with creativity and energy. A circus theme will prevail, but performances and artwork are not required to relate to a literal circus. To learn more about ArtSyrcus or to be considered for participation in the event, call The Ananda Center’s Creative Director Holly Herron at 330-936-8640 or email her at holly@TheAnandaCenter.org. The Ananda Center for the Arts, which is funded in part by grants from the Stark Community Foundation, is a visual and performing arts organization that enriches its community and nurtures the creativity of its youth. The nonprofit organization provides a venue for local artists of all genres to teach, learn, collaborate, and celebrate the arts in Massillon.
