Fremont Focus

The Fremont Focus features a calendar of cultural art events throughout the Tri-cities area, contact listings of local civic and arts organizations… and so much more!

Flash Fiction Contest

Learn more about the 2018 Flash Fiction event.

The 2018 Half-Price Books and Fremont Cultural Arts Council’s Flash Fiction Contest will be held on Saturday, September 22nd, once again hosted at Half Price Books in the Fremont Hub. So, sharpen your pencils and write a story of 300 words or less, including the title, and fame and fortune could be yours! This year there’s no given subject, so use your imagination.

 

Every year wonderful tales are submitted and posted at the store, where patrons vote for their favorites. Stories are filled with imagination, interesting situations and characters, so much so that last year the 107 patrons of Half Price Books who read and voted for their favorites had a difficult time deciding–there was a three way tie for 3rd place!

Announcing the boxART! Program

boxART! Program

boxART! is the City of Fremont’s program which provides for the painting of colorful murals on the nearly 170 utility boxes located at each signaled intersection throughout Fremont. The program is much appreciated by residents and visitors, and the city has recently announced Phase 3 of the program. Artists whose work is chosen and completed will receive a $650 stipend.

Induz Passport to World Arts

We held this excellent hands-on geography and art program for younger children again this year at the Fremont Main Library during June and July, and each year we have more people attending! Children loved learning about the selected country and the art of that country during each of the 4 sessions, then used the materials provided to create their own version, and were able to add that country’s stamp to their ‘passports’.

 

This excellent summer time program is provided free of charge to the participants, as space is provided by the Fremont Library, while materials are sponsored by INDUZ and the FCAC. Featured projects in previous years included African Masks,Egyptian Portraits, Oaxacan/Mexican Alebrijes, and Turkish Hamsa Hands.

 

Information on the program for 2018 will be posted here as soon as dates are firm.
