Last year we saw how the West Valley Arts Center in Arizona brought botanical art to the first annual Arizona SciTech Festival.
This year, it could be you!
Event coordinators are accepting applications from Arizonans interested in hosting events during the 2013 Arizona SciTech Festival. This is a great opportunity for those in the arts to demonstrate the value of incorporating art across the curriculum.
The Arizona SciTech Festival is a partnership between Arizona Science Center, Arizona State University, Arizona Technology Council Foundation and the Arizona Commerce Authority. The festival was created to inform Arizonans of all ages about how science, technology and innovation affect their everyday lives and how each will expand their economic future.
The Arizona SciTech Festival has gained a lot of momentum since last year’s launch and event organizers want to involve as many Arizona residents as possible. Festival director Dr. Jeremy Babendure says, “The 2012 inaugural Festival was a great success with over 200 amazing expos, celebrations, exhibitions, discussions, and tours delivered to over 220,000 young people and adults at venues located not only in Greater Phoenix and Tucson, but also in communities such as Casa Grande, Flagstaff and Showlow. We’re calling on all Arizona citizens to help us reach our goal of doubling those numbers by submitting their ideas and spreading the word about the Festival through their networks.”
