An event for children and families. A colorful, energized swirl of creative activities for ages 3 to 12, fostering children's love of art and photography.

Saturday, February 10, 2007, 1 - 4pm
FotoFest's Gallery and Headquarters
1113 Vine Street Downtown Houston
(across from University of Houston Downtown)

Individual Tickets - $50

Kids created collages, photograms and valentines at the activity stations, dressed up and hopped into the photo booth, then joined the photo scavenger hunt within an exciting exhibition of contemporary photography from Denmark. Kids made frames for their dress-up photos and indulged their sweet-tooth by decorating their own camera-shaped cookies. Face painting, professional skateboarding demonstrations and performances by break-dancer rounded out the afternoon.

Parents bid on select fine art photography from FotoFest's collection of renowned artists as well as other photography-related packages and gifts for kids in the silent auction. Delicious treats were available for the whole family as D.J. Jeff spun kid-friendly psychedelic tunes.

FotoLuv was the Valentine theme for FotoFest's second Kids Helping Kids - FOTOFUN event benefiting FotoFest's school-based education program Literacy Through Photography (LTP). 

LTP has been at work in Houston-area public schools for 16 years, using photography to stimulate student writing and communication skills. Teachers widely praise LTP's ability to stimulate students engagement in classroom learning. LTP works in over 20 schools in the Houston area, Latino, African American and Asian American student populations.'

 



FotoLuv co-chairs Gretchen McFarland, Nancy Littlejohn and Liz Glanville created a family focused event that introduced children to the hands-on, artistic world of photography in a creative and fun environment. Funds from the 2007 FOTOFUN event support FotoFest's school-
based education outreach program Literacy Through Photography (LTP).
