The Othello Park International Music & Arts Festival 2016
Call of Compassion NW sponsored several booths and performances at this year’s 10th annual International Music and Arts Festival at Othello Park on Sunday August 14th, 2016 between 12p and 6pm and enjoyed food, fun and festivities that reflected the community’s diverse cultures. Download the 2016 Prospectus for more about who we are and why we love the International Music and Arts Festival! We gathered in a grassy meadow under big, old trees in a world of ethnic variety with music, dancing, food, art activities, booths and a petting zoo including a camel!
Othello Park features strolling walkways, a permanent stage gracefully designed to suit its pastoral landscape, and a zip line. Hundreds sat, relaxed and enjoyed the park’s beauty and the show.
They also visited the array of tents and booths and Rainier Valley’s colorful diversity of businesses and organizations. One large tent on the green sheltered the Festival’s traditional “Art Creation Station” to engage those young in age and young at heart, in a variety of hands-on visual art activities led by local artists. Our contributions included booths for community art, original art and community conversations; residents from the nearby Othello Village homeless encampment participated with us. Also, our partner, Mother Africa, brought performances by a Congolese women’s group and an African youth group.
