Maplewood's Fourth of July and the 1978 Art Project

On the morning of July 4th in Memorial Park 1978 Maplewood Arts Center and volunteers pooled resources and with the artistic vision of B. John Kaufmann made paint and cardboard available to the children of Maplewood. The results are seen in the pictures below.

And remember, at Maplewoodstock on July 12 and 13 look for a special addition to the decor of the stage and a special surprise from 1978 Maplewood Art Center.

Kids having fun with the paint. Some got more on them than on the boxes.

Isn't that Fred Profeta again. What a photo hound (his wife is on his left).
