'Superhero of Fun' Mr. Buckethead Leads Inspiring Philanthropic Community Art Initiative for All Ages
On Sat May 28th, children and adults of all ages can participate in the very first installment of the 'Get Out And Draw' campaign at the Dormont Public Library in Pittsburgh. Led by the Fabulous Superhero Mr. Buckethead, created by cartoonist Alex Strang in conjunction with Film Director and Producer Leonard A. Lies and his company Dream Catchers Films, Inc., located in Dormont, this event is for 'kids' of all ages.
Mr. Buckethead is a fun-filled, imaginative hero and star of film and comic books, created by game designer and artist Alex Strang. His interactive gamebooks, upcoming film and TV series are being produced by his associate and partner Leonard A. Lies of Dream Catchers Films, Inc. The world of Mr. Buckethead is a fascinating and interactive experience designed to inspire creativity and innovation for everyone.
The Get Out And Draw campaign utilizes Mr. Buckethead and his many colorful companions and adversaries to encourage participants to create their own characters within a stress-free, accessible environment suited for any skill or talent level. This program will be touring in many areas and is kicking off at the Dormont Library located at 2950 West Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15216. Telephone 412 - 531 - 8754
The Dormont Public Library is an independent community library located in the South Hills which works to empower, educate, and inspire it's members in the Dormont community and the surrounding Pittsburgh area through a wide offering of social, academic, and community-based programming. These programs have established the Dormont Public Library as a place of learning and growth.
Get Out and Draw includes a charity and philanthropic component, as participants can experience having their work exhibited for the public, having it published in a Gallery Book, and available for purchase. This supports the concept that anyone can potentially express themselves in a healthy way, breaking barriers of peer pressure that often limits creativity, and leading towards a possible career path. A portion of the Sales of the gallery book will be given to a charity of the venue's choice.
