Thrive Family Arts Festival at Kaiser Permanente

Roseville, Calif.- Kaiser Permanente and Roseville Arts! invite children of all ages to the Thrive Family Arts Festival this Saturday, Sept. 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center.

Kids will have a messy and marvelous time as physicians and staff remove their stethoscopes and raise paint brushes for a day of fun and creativity. The event is free.

Activities for families include: Creating arts and crafts projects at booths staffed by local artists, making healthy treats, dancing, hula hoops, listening to music played by doctors, jump roping, face painting and learning that it’s fun to be healthy.

‘Our hospital serves as an anchor in the community,’ said Sandy Sharon, chief operating officer of Kaiser Permanente’s Roseville Medical Center. ‘We see this family friendly event as a perfect partnership with Roseville Arts! to help our community thrive.”

This event is one of the many ways Roseville Arts! Blue Line Gallery reaches out to fulfill its mission ‘to create a vibrant community through the Arts,’ said Beth Rohlfes, curator of Roseville Arts! Blue Line Gallery. ‘This fabulous festival invites families to have fun and be creative with a host of art activities lead by artists, teachers and community volunteers. We hope to provide a morning and afternoon of pure enjoyment, as well as to encourage the understanding that the arts are an essential part of healthy living for our children and families.’

The festival takes place in the courtyard of the medical center, 1600 Eureka Road, Roseville.
