Please join us for an exhibit of Aurora Art teachers’ artworks at DAVA. This marks the 16th annual Aurora Art Educators show.

All proceeds raised from this portion of the show will be donated to A.J. Boik’s Memorial Scholarship at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design.

Honk! JR.Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother’s protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be. Honk, JR. was adapted for young performers and, with a score by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins), Honk! JR. is a heartwarming celebration of being different that is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit, unique charm and memorable score. Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, Honk! JR. will treat audiences to equal amounts of laughter and tears.

The resulting exhibit is designed to educate the community through the eyes of young people. Middle school students in DAVA’s Job Training Programs chose to focus on mindfulness through a group meditative weaving project as a way to deal with stress and other issues. Another group is focusing on the importance of brain care through mixed media collages of photos, drawings and words. Younger students in DAVA’s Open Studio focused on the difference between natural food colors and artificial food colors. Advanced High school students in the Open Studio created individual linocuts focusing on the effects of smoking, fresh food production, self-discipline and the importance of balanced diets. For more information about the exhibit, email [email protected].
