Biennial of the Americas Denver 2010

KidsPatch is an event series dedicated to new children's creativity, presented since 2008 at numerous events in Europe and the USA. Each program consists of a series of workshops for kids (ages 5 - 12), related to the fields of contemporary music, graphic art, performance and new media. It is a 100% participatory program that utilizes an intuitive, inventive and forward-thinking approach to children's creative education within the context of arts and culture.

M12: Rediseñar los Campitos is a multi-disciplinary artwork based on mobile architecture, landscape, collaboration, and social responsibility. M12's goal is to thoroughly study the past and current design principles employed by today's sheep wagons, research the conditions in and around the structure, and ultimately redesign and construct, Campito, a prototype for what a sheep wagon can become in the 21st century.

The July performances at the Arvada Center, which include Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble, The Denver Brass "Latin Brass Hot, Hot, Hot," Fiesta Colorado Dance Ensemble, and Buckwheat Zydeco, to name only a few, are presented in partnership with the Biennial of the Americas.
