The Aquarium of the Pacific is inviting kids from across the area to participate in a tile-painting project Saturday, August 29 at the aquarium, 100 Aquarium Way, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Youngsters will be asked to paint marine sea life scenes on floor tiles that will be installed at the new Nordstroms in the Los Cerritos Center when it opens in May, 2010. The tiles will adorn the children's and infants clothing areas in the store.
About 200 children, ages 5-12, are expected to attend and will be guided and learn about the painting and glazing process by Seattle-based artist Charlie Bigger. Each child will also be able to put his or her name and age on the work.
The cost is $40 per child with all proceeds going to the aquarium. Refreshments and entertainment will be provided. Those interested can call 562-437-3474 to reserve tickets. Space is limited.
The children's tiles will be unveiled when Nordstrom at Los Cerritos Center opens at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 7, 2010.
