Sacramento, CA — Learn how to enliven and enrich reading, math, and other subjects with the arts! Educators, administrators, artists, and parents are invited to the eighth annual CSUS Arts Resource Faire on Saturday, March 8, at Sacramento State University in the University Union.
The event will open with songs by Francie Dillon, now a CSUS Professor, and the Woodwind Quintet from the Sacramento Philharmonic performing “Carnival of the Animals” by Saint-Saens. Other performers include a Wax Museum of Living History by Creative Connections Academy middle school students, “Blues in the Schools,” and Songs of the Western Soil by local musicians Horse Sense.
