VSA arts/Williamstown Theatre Festival Apprenticeship
Deadline: February 23, 2007
VSA arts has partnered with the renowned Williamstown Theatre Festival in Williamstown, Massachusetts to establish the VSA arts Apprenticeship for students with a disability, ages 19 – 24, who are interested in expanding their theater education and knowledge. The VSA arts Apprenticeship provides a talented student with a unique insight into the world of a professional theater.
“I am living in a theater lover’s utopia and I don’t want this experience to end.”
Christopher Imbrosciano
2006 apprentice
Every summer, the Williamstown Theatre Festival Apprentice Program offers 70 promising students classes in acting, voice, and movement. Discussions and master classes with notable professionals are also a part of the apprentice experience. Apprentices also learn about the different aspects of running a professional theater company by working in each of the various departments at the Festival on a rotating basis. Many former apprentices have gone on to successful careers in the professional theater.

Call for Entries: Easter Seals VA EggstravaganzaSM!
Calling All Artists…adult or student…professional or amateur…we want you to be part of the Easter Seals VA EggstravaganzaSM!
Lots of fun, great prizes, super folks… and a fantastic cause!!!
Easter Seals VA has been hosting a fun and successful black-tie adult egg hunt and auction event for the last five years that has raised over $270,000 to support their programs and services for over 45,000 children and adults with disabilities throughout Virginia. We have had different arts related groups participate throughout the course of this project. Due to the popularity of our event, this year we wanted to open the opportunity for even more folks to become involved!
Here is all the info you need to participate:
There are 3 levels of competition – Professional, Amateur and Student. Each level will have a first and second place winner for 2/3 dimensional “eggart”. There will also be an overall winner for Best In Show and Best Expression of the Easter Seals VA Mission. A nominal monetary prize of $35 will be awarded for each and the best in show will win either $100 or two tickets to the Egg event. These eggs are used in the project in many ways - as live or silent auction items themselves; to be paired up with special packages (trips, party packages, artwork, jewelry, sports packages, etc.) in our live auction; or as decorations for the event.
The Egg Art requirements are as follows:
• The piece of art must reflect the Egg theme in some way
• The creation may be 2 or 3 dimensional
• 2 dimensional artwork must but be no larger than “32 x 40”
• 3 dimensional artwork must be able to stand to be displayed on a table
• Easter Seals Virginia reserves the right to deny entry of an egg that is offensive in nature
• The egg entries will become the property of Easter Seals Virginia and will not be returned.
The artists of the eggs that win prizes as well as the eggs that are chosen to accompany the live auction items and those that are auctioned off themselves will be recognized in the event program.
Egg entries may be submitted at Art Works, Inc. (320 Hull Street); February 1-18th.
The Egg judging will take place on Monday, February 19 and winners will be announced at the 4th Friday Reception at Art Works, Inc. on February 23rd at 8:00 p.m. (this event which runs from 7-10 p.m. is open to the public and offers light refreshments and a cash bar). The eggs will remain on display at Art Works Inc. until the Preview Party at William Jeffrey’s Jewelers in March.
The Preview Party event to kick-off the Eggstravaganza SM and to feature the eggs will be held at William Jeffrey’s Jewelers, 9986 Brook Rd., The Creeks at Virginia Centre, on Thursday, March 8th from 6-9 p.m. Entry is free. RSVP to William Jeffrey’s Jewelers, 264-2600, by March 1st so that they can give the caterer an accurate head count.
The Easter Seals Virginia and Century 21 Old Richmond Realty EggstravaganzaSM will be held on Saturday, March 24th from 7-10:30 p.m. at the Children’s Museum of Richmond. Tickets start at $100. To receive an invitation, contact the ESV office at 287-1007.
