FREE ADMISSION

The MY HERO Project announces its first time participation in the Orange County Imagination Celebration, a countywide event that brings together the disciplines of dance, film, music, literature and visual arts in a collaborative effort between arts organizations, schools, cities, libraries, and community venues.

The Festival of Arts Foundation has awarded The MY HERO Project a $2,000 grant for MY HERO activities at this event.

This year’s theme is Full STEAM Ahead, STEAM being an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math.

The MY HERO Project has been selected to offer children hands-on projects specifically in the area of Technology and will help children create art and stories about their personal heroes. The hero tales and pictures will be featured on MY HERO’s free, globally accessible website (www.myhero.com), to be shared with children and adults around the world.

“The MY HERO Virtual Art Gallery is very excited to be collaborating with the Laguna Art Museum to create meaningful activities for their children's festival,” said Victoria Murphy, Curator of the My Hero Art Gallery. “MY HERO will emphasize the theme of Technology at the Celebration. We are expecting more than 400 people, most of them children, and that will really be fun. We are grateful to the Festival of Arts for helping MY HERO with its first collaboration with the Laguna Art Museum.”

In addition, Victoria Murphy added, “MY HERO will also participate at Explorocean's Imagination Celebration in Newport Beach on Sunday April 21st, 2013. We will be painting murals and preparing hero art on the beach where the children will be able to use the ocean as their inspiration.”
