This past July, we attended the 8th annual Fire Arts Festival, sponsored by The Crucible in Oakland. The festival celebrates creativity with fire and had many art installations, performances and interactive activities, all of which were both innovative and artistic. Both of us have been inspired to create our own fire themed art and have several ideas in the works! The festival was designed as a fundraising event for The Crucible’s arts education program that benefits both children and adults. Visit www.thecrucible.org for more information on classes and events.
