HELP US BUILD THE RANGOLI

A Rangoli is a unique art form from India; it is similar to a mandala and uses different colored, organic materials to achieve a beautiful, colorful display of geometric patterns and shapes. It is believed in some cultures to welcome peace, happiness, and prosperity to all guests and participants. All are welcome to come participate in the Rangoli community art project, as well as, enjoy the full day of Festival activities. The rangoli for the Irmo International Festival will be made from decomposable, organic materials and will be completed by the end of the festival.  We’ll be working on the Rangoli at the Irmo Community Park each afternoon April 24-28 beginning at 5 pm and all guests to the Festival can also help.  Festival goers can bring their own colorful materials to use but we will have plenty of supplies for everyone.   

     We are seeking donations of the following materials to assist in creating a
