This Saturday, December 3, 2011, at 12 Noon, actor/filmmaker Cylk Cozart, Knoxville College, and Genesis Rock will host the “Planting Seeds and Building Dreams" celebration at 901 Knoxville College Drive. The public is invited to attend this community celebration in honor of our youth and the Bazillion Blooms program, which is sponsored by Dogwood Arts. The significance of planting one thousand dogwood trees on the Knoxville College campus is that the one thousand dogwood trees represent one thousand students growing and blossoming at Knoxville College.
The “Planting Seeds and Building Dreams" celebration will begin shortly after the first set of dogwood trees are planted firmly on the Knoxville College Campus. The purpose of this celebration is to encourage youth to dream and “bare good fruit” throughout their academic journey. In addition to encouraging young minds to dream, the celebration is an effort to support a Performing Arts Charter School, "The Dream Academy," co-created and spearheaded by Cylk Cozart, a native of Knoxville.
Dogwood Arts is working in partnership with Cozart, Genesis Rock, the City of Knoxville, local businesses, and community organizations to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of our region. The “Planting Seeds and Building Dreams" celebration will not only commemorate Dogwood Arts mission to enhance the natural beauty of our region, but it will also commemorate the beauty of nurturing youth to dream, grow, and thrive throughout their life’s journey here on earth.
Some of the highlights during the celebration include:
Everyone is welcome to attend this special occasion to honor community-wide efforts to beautify our region and develop extraordinary youth to ensure that such youth are “planted” and grown on good soil.
