Jungle Juggle at BIG ARTS Annual Family Day
SANIBEL, Fla. (April 23, 2010) People of all ages will enjoy a free fun afternoon in BIG ARTS Boler Garden Sunday, May 3, with a 3-D show by world champion juggler and comedian Mark Nizer. BIG ARTS 5th Annual Family Day begins at 3 p.m. The day includes juggling, comedy, theater, art, crafts, and music.
Since winning the International Juggling Championships, Mark Nizer has taken his one-man show with original comedy, world-class juggling, music, and technology all over the world. Whether it's five ping pong balls being thrown 20 feet in the air using only his mouth or juggling a running electric carving knife, and a 16 pound bowling ball, you'll never know what Nizer will do in order to dazzle his audience.
Kids can enjoy an instrument “petting zoo” with the Southwest Florida Symphony, and a performance by the Sanibel School Performing Arts students as well as the Steel Drum Band. Pinocchio's Ice Cream will be giving out their homemade ice cream and will host a “guess how many cookies in the jar” contest. The winner will receive a Pinocchio's Gift Package including a signature t-shirt. Families can also enjoy fun food by Catering by Leslie Adams.
The afternoon will also include the visual arts opening reception for Open Doors: Great Expectations XV, a program funded through donations to the Alliance for the Arts. This exhibit is open Friday, April 30 through Friday, May 21 in Founders Gallery.
Art by students from Sanibel Middle School and Lexington Middle School will be on display in BIG ARTS Phillips Gallery. The Student Exhibit runs through Friday, May 21.
