Save the Date!
We are excited to announce the fourth annual Karen Gallagher Kennedy Arts Festival will be held on April 16th 2009! The Karen Gallagher Kennedy Arts Festival is sponsored by Metro United Way and celebrates the visual and written talents of all youth from kindergarten through high school. This festival encourages our youth to write and create visual expressions about issues that affect our community.
We are still finalizing all of the details, but I can tell you that this year will be a little different from years past! Unlike previous years, the festival will have two components: written and a video/slideshow. The theme? LIVE UNITED!
Additional details, such as how to apply and rules & regulations are going to be posted soon! Please encourage all of the youth in your life to begin thinking about how they LIVE UNITED. To view last years entries, just visit youtube.com/metrounitedway. Also, don’t forget to mark your calendar to stop by Metro United Way that evening and join the festival and award presentation!
The Karen Gallagher Kennedy Film Festival was created to honor Gallagher Kennedy, who died in 2005. She had worked at Metro United Way for years and was a talented writer who wrote moving profiles of people who had been helped by agencies supported by Metro United Way.
