Art and chocolate go together.
This weekend, they are paired yet again at the Arizona SciTech Festival.
The Arizona SciTech festival is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see, hear, taste, and experience first-hand, the best Arizona offers in science, technology, innovation. There is something for everyone from three-years to 103!
In historic downtown Glendale, botanical art and chocolate will reign as the West Valley Arts Council welcomes visitors to their first annual exhibition of botanical art and Arizona candy maker Cerreta hosts the Glendale Chocolate Affaire.
Artists, naturalists, gardeners and families are invited to the Gaslight Inn to view the botanical artwork of regional artists.
Just down the street from the Gaslight Inn, visitors can attend the Glendale Chocolate Affaire where they can learn about the science of chocolate and learn about chocolate’s medicinal properties. They will also have the opportunity to speak with chocolatiers, go on a factory tour at Cerreta Fine Chocolates, listen to music, eat, shop and take part in many activities.
Each year, the chocolate festival is held the weekend before Valentine’s Day. Over the years, it has become the largest gathering of romance novelists in the Southwest. Festival goers who enjoy romance novels have the opportunity to meet their favorite authors. Aspiring writers will have the opportunity to take writing workshops about a variety of topics including self-promotion, e-publishing, ghostwriting, and writing books for young adults. A complete schedule of writing workshops can be viewed here.
The Arizona SciTech Festival continues through March 14, 2012. Visit the festival’s website to view upcoming events, resources for teachers and to read their blog.
