You're invited to join TEAM CHERRY ARTS...
One area of focus for us this year is looking for ways to allow you to BE PART OF ART, and this issue of The Canvas informs you of some of the ways you can engage in our programs. 
One of the greatest gifts one can give is their time, and we would be honored if you volunteered for us this year -- or even helped us spread the word. Annually, we need 1,000 volunteers to bring the arts to people's lives in Colorado. Please share and learn more about volunteering this year, and "give the gift of art" at www.CherryArts.org/Volunteer
Sincerely,
Terry Adams
President and CEO

The Cherry Creek Arts Festival and Cherry Creek North Announce Sculpture Unveiling Colorado Artist Bill Starke to Unveil "Tower of Man" at Public Dedication
On Thursday, June 21 on Steele Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival will donate an outdoor sculpture to Cherry Creek North to recognize the District for providing over 20 years of support to the Arts Festival. The formal dedication, open to the public, will take place from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., followed by promotions and activities in conjunction with the Cherry Creek Arts District, showcasing Galleries, Theater, Dance, Restaurants and Retailers from 6:30 - 9 p.m.
The Cherry Creek Arts Festival selected Colorado artist Bill Starke, through a competitive application process, to create the 15-foot bronze sculpture, Tower of Man. Starke returns as an exhibiting artist at the 2012 Arts Festival (July 6, 7 and 8), marking his 10th time as a blind-jury selected artist at the event.
"We couldn't think of a better way to show our gratitude to Cherry Creek North for over 20 years of support to the Arts Festival," said Terry Adams, Cherry Creek Arts Festival president and CEO. "As a year-round organization, the Festival is proud to provide the Denver community with arts experiences, education and public art that can be enjoyed 365 days a  year."
In addition to serving as Denver's premier destination for shopping, fashion, spas, restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and community events, Cherry Creek North offers visitors a number of already-existing outdoor art pieces and spaces.
CCN Business Improvement District president and CEO, Julie Bender stated, "With over 20 galleries and nearly 50 outdoor art locations, and as the home of the annual Cherry Creek Arts Festival, our District is a well-established arts destination. On June 21 we will celebrate this through the sculpture dedication."

What Makes a Cherry Green?
Green Up Cherry Arts: Zero Waste Initiative
The Cherry Creek Arts Festival (CCAF) is dedicated to providing sustainably-based arts experiences, and our long-term goal is to achieve zero waste on site. CCAF has partnered with ZeroHero, Inc., and the companies are undertaking the most comprehensive recycling approach in our combined histories. Seventy-five 3-stream receptacles will be on-site and personally manned for recycling, composting and landfill sorting.
The mission of this program is to assure an environmentally responsible year-round operation, work towards zero-waste, educate and involve the public in recycling and provide a model for other festivals.
At CCAF, zero waste is a goal, a process, a way of thinking that profoundly changes our approach to our "trash" year-round and at the festival itself. Zero waste is not simply about recycling and diversion from landfills, but about prevent waste in the first place.
Be Part of Art and volunteer for the Green Up "Pit Crew" and get special green sunglasses, green hat and be part of 1,000 other "Green Up Denver" volunteers!
