An important event is taking place Saturday in the Raue Center for the Arts, Crystal Lake.
Since its inception, The Raue Center has always promoted the desire to host a show that highlights the talents of youth.
The inaugural FOCUS talent show ran last year and was an overwhelming success. With the hard work and dedication of the FOCUS Educational Committee and staff, the Raue Center has been able to further bring this idea to fruition and turn it into an annual event.
This year's FOCUS 2010 is a multifaceted, multi-month talent show open to all youth 18 and under. The event strives to promote emotional, intellectual and intuitive development in each child through the encouragement of artistic expression. The event’s theme, “A community of change. What does this mean to you?” will permeate all unique showcases in this year’s event.
The finale showcase on Saturday will present the performers/presenters before the judging panel and the winners will be announced.
