FAC's CaBOOST Project Pulls into the Station

The Fishers Arts Council's "CaBOOST the Arts" project has arrived at the Fishers Train Station (in the Thomas Weaver Municipal Complex) and is available for the public to view. CaBOOST features 10 fiberglass caboose statues that have been designed, decorated, and painted by local and regional artists. The caboose-display will be through the summer months and will culminate with the FAC's "Fishers Arts Day" on September 15, 2007. "Fishers Arts Day" will feature three intertwined events, all of which will be located at the Municipal Complex:

Art in the Park - From 8 a.m. to 3

p.m., more than 30 visual fine artists of all kinds will be on hand to display and sell artwork. An Affair of the Arts - From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the Fishers Arts Council will host a reception featuring a silent auction and the official unveiling of the FAC's 2008 project. The event will be hosted by WISH-TV personality Angela Buchman. Tickets for the event are $10 and can be purchased at the Fishers Arts Council's Web site, www.fishersartscouncil.org. All tickets sold will be considered a donation to FAC and will help secure additional funding for future FAC projects. CaBOOST the Arts Live Auction - Drawing the evening to a close, the Arts Council will hold a live auction for the five remaining Gold-sponsored cabooses. Fishers Arts Council Call for Volunteers.
