The sixth annual Kaleido Family Arts Festival kicks off on September 9, 2011. This 2 ½ day avante garde festival celebrates the arts with family, encouraging community to become both artist and audience! It is a multi-disciplinary collaboration that showcases both emerging and established artists across all media and disciplines through the creative use of space – including streetscapes, sides and roofs of buildings, and alleyways. Last year we had a trombone choir on a rooftop, grande piano in a back alley, and dancers suspended from the sides of buildings!
The Kaleido Festival brings accessible and affordable arts to Alberta Avenue, while promoting diversity through multiculturalism and inter-generational expression. Our festival draws people into the community from other areas of the City to experience and explore the richness and diversity of Alberta Avenue.
