Night of Dreams Hosted by Kids First and Blue Line Arts in Roseville

Apr 18, 2016 11:02AM ● By David Norby

On April 20, Blue Line Arts will be decked with the dreams of young artists. Collaborating with KidsFirst, the gallery assisted “The Dream Project”, an initiative to help kids actualize their dreams by creating “vision boards” on canvas, under the guidance of an art instructor.

KidsFirst and Blue Line Arts in partnership with the Roseville Police Activities League and the Placer Sheriff’s Activities League helped children of the community and KidsFirst clients tap into their inner creativity by crafting visual representations of what they want to have and become in life. By creating a visual reminder of their goals, the children will have a tangible reminder that they can work toward and attain their passions.

On April 20, Blue Line Arts and KidsFirst, our community sponsors Cochrane & Wagemann Funeral Home and the Kiwanis Club of Roseville are excited to host complimentary Art Reveals and Mixers to showcase the young artists’ accomplishments and celebrate their dreams.  “Sponsor a Childs Dream” is an opportunity for the community to donate to the project so that the artists can return home with their accomplishments. Donations of $50 will be accepted at the event or online at http://www.bluelinearts.org/education/sponsor-a-childs-dream.  Proceeds will benefit KidsFirst’s no-cost healing programs and services, as well as Blue Line Arts.

Budding artists and families will enjoy a private art reveal from 4:30 to 6 pm. The event will open to supporters, partners and the general public from 6:30 to 8 pm. All attendees can peruse the gallery while enjoying hors d’oeuvres and beverages by Real Food Caterers. Entertainment is provided by the very popular J. Ross Parrelli of Hip-Hop Congress, a program of Placer Arts.Craft brews by Monks Cellar and wine provided by Blue Line Arts will also be offered, providing revelers a wide selection of refreshments.
