LKF/NJSKC (NJ)
[Jersey City] Last year around this time, “Liberty Remembers: A Kitefliers’ Tribute“ was held to honor those effected by the events of 9-11. It was truly one of the most powerful kiting events ever held in the area. This year’s event we would like to focus on kites and all the positives that comes with the sport naturally while never forgetting what happened on 9-11. Although this year the added sport kite competition will enhance the event, we would like to keep single line kites in the forefront. Single line area will be main staged at the south end of the green lawn. It’s a round field outlined by a bike path. While you are not confined to this area, it would best to keep some of the larger kites in the area. If space becomes an issue, there is still plenty of room out side of the round field that can be used. Gary Engval will be heading the single kite field. Terry Murry will be the MC and soundman for the single line folk. This year marks the 13 annual fall competition known as the NJSKC. The event originated and was held in Sandy Hook for 5 years. Then moved on to the beach in Belmar, NJ, the “Train Station” in Liberty State Park, and Wildwood, NJ in the past. Now its back at Liberty State Park and will take place at a new location within the park known as the Green Lawn. This is the same location as “Liberty Remembers” last year which enjoyed two sunny days of perfect on shore pure kite lifting breeze.

[New Smyrna Beach] The festival will follow a three week artist-in-residence program at the Atlantic Center for the Arts called WINDART. This unique program will bring together an exceptional group of artists who share an interest in kites and other wind / sky based artwork. Please see the following link for more information about the participants: http://subvision.net/sky/events/florida/group-info.htm WINDART residency Atlantic Center for the Arts' WindArt residency will consist of three, closely coordinated and intermeshed programs with international invited artists in residence. There will be frequent, common sessions (workshops, presentations & readings) scheduled over the course of the three weeks, as well as a community-wide WindArt celebration at the close of the residency. Since 1982, Atlantic Center’s residency program has provided artists from all artistic disciplines with spaces to live, work, and collaborate during three-week residencies. Located just four miles from the east coast beaches of central Florida, the pine and palmetto wooded environment contains award-winning studios that include a resource library, painting studio, sculpture studio, music studio, dance studio, black box theater, writer’s studio, and digital computer lab. Each residency session includes three master artists of different disciplines. The master artists each personally select a group of associates - talented, emerging artists - through an application process administered by ACA. During the residency, artists participate in informal sessions with their group, collaborate on projects, and work independently on their own projects. The relaxed atmosphere and unstructured program provide considerable time for artistic regeneration and creation. The residency program is free to accepted artists. Atlantic Center for the Arts provides housing (private room/bath with work desk), weekday meals (provided by ACA chef) and communal studio space.
