Dear Educators and Arts Administrators,
On Sunday, January 10th, 2010, the Campo de Cahuenga Historical Memorial Association will once again host the exciting Re-enactment of the signing of the Treaty of Cahuenga (the event that completed America’s dream of manifest destiny.)
This year, the Association will expand the event's already fascinating activities to include the opportunity for school children to celebrate their California historical heritage through art.
Elementary age children (grades 3 though 6) from public and private schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, Los Angeles Children's Art Centers, and community arts programs are invited to share works of art on paper, on the theme of "My California Heritage". The children's art will be on display on the day of the Re-enactment (which features: Mexican and Colonial California dancing, elaborate costumes, a very loud cannon, bands, and a famous Ranchero Taco Bar.) Visitors are encouraged to wear "Rancho" era costumes.
We hope that your children will be able to be part of the “My California Heritage” art project. Attached are the guidelines for art entries.
Your friends in the Campo de Cahuenga Historical Memorial Association are looking forward to meeting you.
Sincerely Yours
Gerald R. Fecht
