The Morgan Hill Community Foundation’s El Toro Culture and Arts Committee and Morgan Hill’s Recreation and Community Services Department will host the 16th annual Art a la Carte, a children’s art fair scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 23, at the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center (corner of Monterey Road and Dunne Avenue.
Art a la Carte is free to all families – it attracts about 150 – 200 elementary school-aged children – and features about two dozen local companies that participate as arts and crafts partners.
This year’s theme is “The Beauty of Science” and will feature a range of crafts, Heroes4Hope superhero visits, and musical performances by local kids, teens, and groups. The event also includes emergency vehicle displays, animal displays provided by San Martin 4H and Friends of the San Martin Animal Shelter, and a raffle, including a girl’s bike. Also providing treats are Road Dogs food trucks.
The event is a consistent crown-pleaser because of generous support and enthusiasm from volunteers, sponsors, and local companies that make everything possible year after year.
