Hello Heroes - YES - that's YOU!





























Hello Heroes!

It's Lockeland's Art Teacher, Camilla, writing to invite you to fly on over to Lockeland Design Center's 4th annual art show and sale at Riverside Village on Friday, May 6th from 3:30 - 7:00 p.m.


This year's theme is "The Story of Heroes." We've been following the theme of Heroes at Lockeland this school year because of the marvelous stories that emerged from the heroes of the Nashville Flood. It's hard to believe that this time last year our community was sump-pumping, bailing out basements, handing out water, and providing shelter to friends in need.



Now it's time to put on your Super Hero capes and costumes and come join us as we celebrate our children's art. Please don't feel that you need to go out and buy a costume for this. I've encouraged the children at school to think of the POWER WORD they choose for themselves at the beginning of the year and to create a SUPER HERO costume that represents that word with things they find around the house. Some examples or the words the children picked are words like: creative, joyful, loving, strong, smart, and helpful.You will find all types of art that illustrates these power words at Riverside Villiage. The chlidren's art will be in the Music School, Sip, Mitchell's Deli, Wantanbe and in the Courtyard.


As a special treat this year we are excited to share the spotlight with Litton Middle School as they create a live Hero Mural in the courtyard, right before our eyes. You can also preview the mural designed by Andee Rudloff (http://www.chicnhair.com/) that will be coming soon to the of M & M furniture building. The murals are the brainchild of Justin Lett of Eden's Gate (http://theedengate.com/) These murals are a great addition to our community and a wonderful tribute to how vast and interconnected we all are.


Looking forward to seeing you this Friday, May 6th from 3:30 - 7:00 at Riverside Village - 1400 McGavock Pike, Nashville, TN 37216
